Saving Yang Lian is just a means to maintain Donglin's vitality and let them fight with Wei Zhongxian.

Mao Yulong was talking freely here, and a group of people in Wei Zhongxian's mansion in the Imperial City were also conspiring.

Sitting at the top of the hall of fame is, of course, the current Ming Dynasty's hot nine thousand years old, and sitting at the bottom is his group of minions.

To say that the formation of the eunuch party actually has a huge relationship with Donglin, that is, they were forced to be.

At that time, Donglin's forces were very strong in the government and the opposition, but Donglin had a habit of cleanliness, and those who were not my kind must be mortal enemies, and they would never be soft when they fought, that is, they were dead and alive, and they had already entered the cabinet, such as Gu Bingqian and Wei Guangwei, the two most important cadres in the eunuch party, in fact, they were not eunuchs, one was the periphery of Donglin, and the other was the Chu party.

Gu and Wei were constantly impeached by Yanlu and were not tolerated by Qingliu. At that time, Zhao Nanxing, the first assistant, was friends with Wei Yunzhen, Wei Guangwei's father, but he rejected Wei Guangwei outside the Donglin Gate three times. Not only that, but also publicly said that Wei Yunzhen had no children, and he was extremely humiliated, so he would be furious if he put it on anyone's head, and at this time, in order to expand his quota in the cabinet, Donglin bit like a mad dog, putting Gu Wei and the others in danger.

So, Gu Wei and the two had no choice but to drink those officials who did not allow Donglin to protect themselves, so they had to take refuge in Wei Zhongxian, who could still compete with Donglin, and Wei Zhongxian also needed the cooperation of the officials of the outer court, so that consciously and unconsciously, the eunuch party was formed, and it continued to grow, and finally became the sworn enemy of Donglin with the secret support of the emperor. Therefore, in fact, Donglin is a representative of death, creating enemies for himself, and he is constantly sending talent strength to the enemy.

Today, Wei Zhongxian returned to his own mansion in the Forbidden City early, and rectified party affairs according to the rules, but just gathered a group of party members together to organize life, but at this time, Tian Ergeng hurriedly walked in.

Wei Zhongxian looked at Tian Ergeng who was in a hurry, and couldn't help frowning, holding a party meeting, but you, the most core member, didn't come for a long time, isn't this a snub thing? So, Wei Zhongxian said to Tian Ergeng unhappily: "Ziming, why is it so late? It is not easy for our family to come out this time, time is pressing, and after a few important things have been explained, we have to go back to the palace to wait for the emperor. ”

The reason why the eunuch party can succeed is because he holds the most important trump card of the Ming Dynasty - the emperor, this card must be watched closely, in case those opponents have the opportunity to touch this row, maybe there will be some chaos.

Tian Ergeng hurriedly leaned over and pleaded guilty: "Nine thousand years old forgiveness, it's not that the lower officials are negligent, there is really an important matter that needs to be detailed by the lower officials, so that they can report to the nine thousand years old, it's too late." ”

At this time, Gu Bingqian, who was sitting first under Wei Zhongxian, squinted his eyes and asked, "Lord Commander, I don't know what the big thing is, but you have to work to investigate and verify it yourself?" ”

Tian Ergeng said: "This is indeed a big deal, and it is a big thing that is not good for us and it, if we don't verify it clearly, it will indeed ruin our plans." ”

Seeing that Tian Ergeng said something serious, Wei Zhongxian also put away his casual demeanor, stared at Tian Ergeng and asked, "What is so serious?" And then? ”

So Tian Ergeng saluted again and said: "This morning, the prince of England personally went to Shen Guangzuo's mansion to pay respects, and Shen Guangzuo personally entertained him, and ate a meal from mid-day to sunset and dark. ”

This news was like a bombshell, ignited in Mingtang, and all the officials involved were moved.

The eunuch party and Donglin in the fifth year of the Apocalypse are struggling to a critical time when they are in full swing.

However, Donglin was lackluster in terms of the means of struggle, and they were not united internally, with mountains and hills, and they also tore each other from time to time.

And the eunuch party is really a leader, a voice, united internally and externally. Moreover, Wei Zhongxian was born a ruffian, and the whole person is full of tricks, which makes people unguardable. Especially this ruffian hooligan is carrying a group of cultured little hooligans.

In this way, the balance of power between the eunuchs and Donglin was completely broken. In terms of talking cannons, eunuchs, those literati bureaucrats and Donglinbi are not inferior. Every time Wei Zhongxian wants to overthrow a person, he first has to launch a powerful impeachment momentum, which is also at the commanding heights in terms of righteousness, but he is much more skilled than Donglin in small actions. People are talking and doing hard, and they all account for it. This is the so-called hooligans are not terrible, they are afraid that the hooligans are educated, but the gangster group of the eunuchs has a group of educated younger brothers, and Donglin can only bow to the upper hand.

The reason why the eunuch party and Donglin are fighting on a par now is actually relying on Donglin's decades and hundreds of years of heritage, which can not be shaken for a while, after all, the rise of the eunuch party is not long. At this time of balance of power, any party that increases some strength can immediately turn the balance overturned, and whether it is Donglin or the eunuch party, they all know that in the political situation of this Ming Dynasty, the power of the Xungui group must not be underestimated.

The nobles are gone, but their marriage relationship between them for hundreds of years has maintained the fact that this group exists. Especially now the British Duke represented by the Xungui Group is even more hot in the entire Ming Dynasty, not only won the favor of two generations of emperors, but also held the power of the thirteen guards in the capital, and today's news definitely shook the entire eunuch group, making them feel cold and chilly in the back of their necks.

Wei Zhongxian, who has always been unfazed, had to open his eyes at this time and treat this matter cautiously: "Are you sure? ”

Tian Ergeng said solemnly at this time: "Our Jinyi Wei has been pervasive, monitoring the dynamics of every traitorous party, and today, the prince of the British prince is grandiose, in full view of everyone, arrogantly visited Shen Guangzuo, one of the leaders of the Donglin Party, in the eyes of the lower officials, this is definitely a declaration of war on us." ”

Wei Zhongxian looked at Gu Bingqian beside him: "Yi'an, what do you think of this matter?" ”

As the second shop of the Ming cabinet, it can also be regarded as the think tank of the eunuch group, although his character is not good in the eyes of outsiders, but he has to admit that his wisdom is still different from others. Every time he can put forward an opinion, almost all of them are to the point, and for Donglin, who did not accept him before, almost all of them are directly hit above seven inches. This time, things suddenly took such a huge turn, Wei Zhongxian naturally asked this think tank for advice again.

After Gu Bingqian pondered for a while, he said in a slow voice: "Nine thousand years old." ”。

This title is correct, because Gu Bingqian, one of the Five Tigers, is fifteen years older than Wei Zhongxian, and he can't recognize Wei Zhongxian's godfather, but Gu Bingqian is very flexible, so in order to stabilize his position as the first person under Wei Zhongxian, he took his son to meet Wei Zhongxian, and he said at the time: "I really want to worship under your door, but I am afraid that you will dislike me for being old, so I will bring my son and be your grandson." ”

You see, this person is sleek and flexible, and he has never been seen before. With this, why can't you get ahead?
