With a righteous and awe-inspiring drink, everyone turned their heads to look, but it was a little-known Wang Lin in the matter, roaring there.

A bunch of big hats were thrown out, and this Wang Lin was even more excited: "If you surrender like this, then where is our Donglin's backbone?" How can we still achieve our desired goals? ”

With the first person firing the cannon, the others immediately responded in groups, and the young and impulsive Zhou Tingru stood up: "Lord Wang is right, the levy of salt tax is originally against the way of heaven and increases the burden on the people, this is a bad law." Since it is an evil law, we, the iron-clad loyal ministers, should resolutely resist it and ask for the lives of the people. At the same time, the salt tax levied did not benefit the people, but was included in the emperor's internal funds, which only satisfied the luxury of the emperor's family and did not help the country. How can we agree to such a thing that is not good for the country and the people? ”

is really worthy of being the leader of the three yuan, not mentioning the rescue of the six gentlemen, but full of patriotism and love for the people, standing on the high moral high ground, attacking the salt tax, and at the same time raising his own morality, this is the talent.

As soon as he said this, the people below seized on this lofty excuse and immediately continued to criticize the matter of raising the salt tax, and no one discussed the issue of rescuing the six gentlemen anymore.

Huang Kuan was unwilling, so he stood up and retorted: "The six gentlemen are the backbone core of Donglin, if they encounter an accident, it will be an important blow to our Donglin." Then he squinted his eyes and stared at Zhou Tingru and the other guys who kept roaring: "If there is no rescue this opportunity, let the six gentlemen die, it will make us lose the hearts of the people, and it will make everyone feel cold." In the future, Donglin will be rejected by all people, saying that we are cold-blooded and ruthless. ”

That's the crucial truth. But this key thing cannot be said, and even if it is said, it should be said by someone who can speak well. And Huang Kuan is a rare practical talent in Donglin, but anyone who works hard will have almost no effort in his mouth. As a result, this thing is basically doomed.

Wen Tiren, who grabbed the words, said with a heavy expression: "The six gentlemen are the backbone of Donglin, and they are the symbol of our Donglin style. So in the face of such a surrender and retreat, I think the 6 gentlemen in the hall will definitely not agree. And once they agree to this exchange, how can they set an example? ”

This sentence is too extreme, if the six gentlemen can stand in this hall now, then what compromise is there to use? And the six gentlemen of Donglin got the news in prison, if one person asked six people, whether it was for face or for the sake of real character, they would definitely refuse. Therefore, the scheming Wen Tiren has actually forced the six gentlemen into a dead end, and there is no room for return.

Zhou Tingru immediately grasped this focus and talked eloquently: "The wind and bones are above all else, the truth is above all else, in order to survive in the world, give up your own wind and truth, what is the difference between that and a dog?" ”

Then he looked sad: "It's a pity that I don't have the virtues of six gentlemen, and I am not qualified to replace them, otherwise I would like to practice the character and truth by example." Let the people of the whole world know that in this dark time of the world, there are still those of us who uphold justice for the world, uphold the truth, and uphold justice for the people. Then he said sonorously: "The great changes in the world all start from bloodshed, Shang Yang Wu Qi, Cao Cuo Zhang Juzheng is the example of martyrs." I am not talented, I am willing to follow the martyrs, throw away this good head, and awaken the righteousness of the world. Then he sat on the chair with a big horse golden knife, and it hurt his back to stand and talk.

Zhou Tingru's impassioned speech immediately ushered in the warm cheers of everyone in the hall, full support, and looked at Zhou Tingru's eyes with a trace of admiration.

Ye Xianggao wanted to open his mouth to say something, but Huang Kuan stopped him with a wry smile and his eyes. In the end, the two of them shook their heads helplessly, and they could only do it.

As they walked back, the two men bowed their heads and were silent. When saying goodbye in advance, Huang Kuan smiled bitterly: "This is our Donglin Party member, what else can I say?" I hope that the emperor and Wei Zhongxian can be jealous of the good name of the six gentlemen, and they will be somewhat restrained. ”

Ye Xianggao could only nod painfully, but still shook his head lightly: "Although the emperor is generous, he has not killed a single minister until now, even if there are some damned ones, they are just dismissed and exiled." But this time, the two sides were too stiff. And the emperor released a soothing voice, which is also the emperor is retreating to Donglin, bowing to Donglin, but these Donglin party members resolutely refuse. This is absolutely not to give the emperor any way back, the clay figure still has three points of earthiness, the dignified emperor is so humiliated, if it is not good, it will make the emperor angry and embarrassed, showing the majesty of his imperial power. In any case, the majesty of the imperial power cannot be touched, and even the emperor who is generous and benevolent will kill in order to maintain the dignity of the imperial power. ”

In the end, he said to Huang Kuan, who was pale and gray: "Today's emperor is benevolent and can be set aside, but he can't be bullied. The Donglin Party is dying by themselves, who else can save it? Then he arched his hand at Huang Kuang with a lonely face, and walked into his yard with his back gloomy, leaving only the lonely Huang Kuang shivering in the colder and colder late autumn wind.

trembling, there is also the emperor in the palace, and the king of letters with a red face.

"How so? How so? It should never be like this. Zhu Youzhen held a thick stack of reports in his hand, asked his brother in disbelief, and asked himself in disbelief.

This thick report was urgently sent by Jin Yiwei, which is the record of the meeting in Shoushan Academy just now, almost word for word.

Tianqi, who was trembling with anger, said to his younger brother with a desperate expression: "This is the loyal minister in your words, this is the loyal minister you have always admired, for a small benefit, not only obstructing the development of the country's policies, but also disregarding the lives of colleagues. In their eyes, no, in their hearts, in the face of interests, the future and fate of the country, and the lives of colleagues are not worth mentioning. Such a group of people, can you still trust them? If you are the emperor, and your subordinates are all such people, do you still dare to be the emperor? They can sell the lives of their colleagues for their own benefit. And once there are greater interests in front of them, will they not dare to betray the country? Don't you dare to betray you? ”

The repeated interrogation made Zhu Youzhen speechless, and he couldn't say anything now, because in the depths of his mind, there was still a deep distinction between loyal and traitorous ministers. He is still a child, and he has not yet made his own thinking about the sinister heart and the difference between loyalty and treachery.

Seeing that he had forced his younger brother too much, it was indeed difficult for him to let a child decide such a big thing. So the apocalypse gave Wang Chengen a look: "The weather is not early, serve King Xin to go back to the palace to rest, and tomorrow I will go to the inner library to get five hundred taels of silver, and let King Xin go to Mao Yulong's house to relax." ”

Although he became wary of Mao Yulong, he also found that Mao Yulong's thinking was indeed different, and he was able to change his younger brother subtly. If he can change the personality of his younger brother, maybe it will be a good thing.

Seeing that his younger brother who was a little delirious was gone, Tianqi's kind smile suddenly disappeared, and he commanded a eunuch: "Let Wei Zhongxian come out and tell him what to do and continue to do what he wants, and cutting through the mess quickly is the way to do things." ”

Apocalypse, let the dog bite people.
