Chapter 189: Two-sided flattery

Father Yang was reinstated, and the capital commander, the culprit of the battle, was also cut off in front of everyone. Although he was a little wronged, he was not too wronged.

The hero came out of the mountain again, so that the hearts of the angry people were comforted, so everyone dispersed, and when the sun rose again from the river, the city of Hangzhou became calm again. Father Yang's original soldiers surrounded him and returned to the command position, and the soldiers also returned to the signing team they had originally carried, and everything returned to its original state.

"Ahem, ahem." The eunuch covered his mouth with a white silk handkerchief, coughed violently for a while, and drank a bowl of hot ginseng tea to ease up a little. The ninja's assassination wound and the wound he gave himself a knife combined to make him bleed too much and make him look extremely weak. But he didn't lie down to recuperate, but insisted on sitting on the highest tiger skin chair, and the lobby was quiet, except for a group of brocade guards who were closely protecting the place, there was no outsider, so that his coughing sound was shocking in the empty and huge hall.

"This time the people's riot, the people killed more than 30 officials at once, not counting the injuries, and the officials below were killed and injured more, and several yamen were also destroyed by the fire, how should this matter end?" He was asking Mao Yulong.

Mao Yulong asked respectfully: "What does the father-in-law mean to do?" ”

The town guard replied frankly to this little guy: "According to our family's intentions, in order to appease the grievances of the common people, let's say that these cool officials have died well, and a few more will be held accountable." "In the heart of the town guard, although I can't let Daddy Yang kill some Donglin civil officials, of course it will cause huge trouble to the eunuchs. But it is also necessary to take advantage of this opportunity to appropriately weaken Donglin's power in Zhejiang. As long as things don't go too far, as long as they are tolerable.

Mao Yulong shook his head lightly directly, of course he knew what the town guard meant, but not at this time. Once the town guard does that, he will have to be drawn into this huge whirlpool of party disputes, and he will be the first to be thrown into the eunuch group.

It is now the fourth year of the Apocalypse, the party struggle has been in full swing, Donglin has been in absolute weakness, and all the people in the world think that this time Donglin is completely collapsed.

But the real inside story is not known to outsiders, does the Emperor of the Apocalypse really want to be a carpenter with peace of mind? Absolutely not, but the Donglin Party was too powerful to elevate him, so that he had to shrink in the carpentry room all day to vent his grievances. It was he who cultivated the eunuch party, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse used the eunuch party to suppress Donglin, who had always wanted to overthrow the emperor, in order to regain his own imperial power. For the Donglin Party, the emperor used Wei Zhongxian to suppress rather than directly kill them, which is actually quite a huge difference.

Donglin's one-party dominance will take the emperor into the air, but if the eunuch party becomes dominant again, the imperial power will not change much. The eunuch led by Wei Zhongxian is just a dog in the hands of the emperor. When the eunuchs were not fierce, the Emperor of the Apocalypse suppressed Donglin. And once the eunuchs make too much trouble, the Emperor of the Apocalypse will tighten the dog chain in his hand. He used this method to try to balance the court, and he benefited from it. In fact, this is a good way, there should be two parties in a court, and these two parties should be allowed to fight each other, and then the emperor will get the most benefits in the middle. It's like a family with a dog, two dogs will behave wholeheartedly in front of the owner in order to compete for favor, but if there is only one dog, it is most likely to bite the owner.

But this owner must have strong strength to deter these two dogs in front of the two dogs. As a result, Apocalypse's character was a little cowardly, and he didn't master the abilities of these two dogs. As a result, it laid a huge foreshadowing for the future turnaround of Donglin. Eventually, when he was dying, he kept telling his brother that he would continue to implement his own policies and play with the balance. Use the hard work of the eunuch party and the monitoring and confrontation of Donglin to continue to lead this decaying and declining old empire down.

As a result, he underestimated his younger brother's radical personality too much, and quickly slashed the chaos and beat Zhiheng Donglin's eunuch to death with a stick. As a result, there was a situation in which the Donglin Party was dominated by one party, and the Donglin Party once again set aside the imperial power. In the end, there was a situation in which the emperor's pro-army Jinyiwei betrayed him, and the emperor ordered Jinyiwei to kill a minister, but the Jinyiwei commander supported this official to the palace and sent him home directly.

He is just a little showman now, and he can't enter the house at all, and he can't influence the emperor at all. Therefore, Donglin will survive under the protection of the emperor. And the death of the Emperor of the Apocalypse is also predestined, and Chongzhen's ascension to the throne is also inevitable. Then according to this logic, Donglin will once again control the government, and it will be unchangeable until the old empire is pushed into the abyss. And if you want to realize your ideals, you must not join the eunuch party and become the target of the Donglin party's counteroffensive in the future.

This is the ass decides the head, the ass of the town guard eunuch sits in that position, he has to think about his party, and he sits in his own position, he has to think about his future.

Therefore, at this time, Mao Yulong already understood that he had offended a lot of civil officials, and he just took this opportunity to pull them and gain a little of their recognition, at least not completely hostile.

Completely for the sake of others, that is a saint, up and down five thousand years to come out of two and a half. I am a mortal, and maximizing my greatest benefit to myself is what a mortal should do.

Mao Yulong denied the idea of guarding his father-in-law: "If you do what your father-in-law wants, although it can calm the people's anger, it will annoy those officials." As long as the good news of guarding Hangzhou City continues to be published in today's battle report, everyone will no longer pursue what happened last night. And once the civil servants become the opposite of us, the harm is enormous. First of all, in our battle to defend Hangzhou, we also need officials at all levels to raise grain, grass and reward silver for us, and send people to sign for us, without whom we will not be able to play. Again, once these officials have resistance to us, they are all followed by wealthy families, and all kinds of forces are intertwined, and then it is not he who will resist us, but behind this person, a family or several families will confront us. We can kill this person, but we must not kill all the people of one or several families behind him, once they are forced to hurry, it is not impossible to make a bigger mess, and this is still for my father-in-law to investigate. ”

The eunuch coughed again, gasped for a while, and finally accepted Mao Yulong's suggestion: "Yulong, your suggestion is right, our family accepts it humbly, otherwise our family will let the anger get carried away and do the unimaginable consequences." ”

Mao Yulong replied modestly: "It's not that my suggestion is high, but I'm a bystander, if you calm your anger, you can think of it as soon as you think of it with your wisdom." ”

This little sycophant was sent over, and the father-in-law of the town guard felt infinitely comfortable, so he smiled and said, "Then what should our family do with these dead officials?" I have to give an explanation to the people, don't I? ”

"In fact, this is simpler, we have to announce to the outside world, promise the people that they will not blame the past, and everyone will have peace of mind. After that, as long as the 30 officials who were killed were reported and said that they died in the battle against the enemy, the panic and anxiety of the officials will be calmed, and they will be able to fully support us in this battle with gratitude, and the rest of the things will be talked about when the world is peaceful. ”

The eunuch who guarded the town sighed unwillingly: "It's cheaper for them, but this method is also the safest." You take 200 taels of silver and send it to the newspaper in a while, and use the fastest speed to announce our measures to firmly defend the city of Hangzhou to appease the people, and then you go back to the city to help General Yang make suggestions. ”

Mao Yulong bowed and walked out of the lobby. Looking at his distant back, the eunuch couldn't help but sigh: "This little guy is really smart, he is flattering on both sides, but can he really do it?" It's too smart, it's not a good thing. This officialdom and party struggle is not as simple and easy as you imagined, one of your feet has already stepped in, if you want to get out of the whole body, it is impossible, you have to be more careful in the future.
