Chapter 290: The Eunuch Strikes Back

"According to the investigation process of Lord Tian, it was the little fat man in the British Palace who recognized the person named Mao Yulong as a godbrother, and this time he just accompanied Mao Yulong to visit his uncle. To be honest, we can divide this matter into two steps, one is, this is just a normal visit to relatives; The second part looks at the matter seriously, that is, the Xungui group is taking a roundabout policy, and if it wants to get close to the Donglin Party, Shen Guangzuo, the leader of the Donglin Party, can start first. Xungui buys his grandson in advance, and then through this relationship, it shows a gesture of the elite group. Especially this time the prince of England came to the door in person, then I think that the Donglin Party made the last dying struggle and fished a life-saving straw. Even if the elite group does not have the mentality of getting close to the Donglin Party, it will be completely used by the Donglin Party to show the officials of the entire court that the Xungui group has begun to rely on their will to strengthen their momentum, and we have to guard against this. ”

The analysis that Gu Bingqian said is very close to the facts, and the entire situation is developing according to this process.

Wei Zhongxian closed his eyes, listened silently and nodded gently, and after Gu Bingqian finished speaking, Wei Zhongxian opened his eyes and asked: "Yi'an means, even if this is just a simple process of visiting each other, the Xungui Group has been pulled into his chariot by the Donglin Party and has become our enemy, do you mean that?" ”

Gu Bingqian respectfully said: "What the nine thousand years old said is extremely true, and the current situation is like this. ”

Wei Zhongxian sighed, leaned back on the tall chair, and said with regret: "In this dynasty, the Xungui group has come to an end, but even the dogs at the end of the road still have the opportunity to bite. ”

For a gangster syndicate to rise rapidly and grow in one place, it must meet three key conditions: First, the leader of the group must have huge political resources, that is, there must be a protective umbrella. Second, they must have a think tank. And the third thing, which is also quite crucial, is that they have to have a group of thugs.

Looking at the rapid rise of the entire eunuch group, and waiting for the late Ming Dynasty, complete control of the imperial court, and the formation of the largest underworld force, he has accounted for all three points.

Wei Zhongxian looked at Gu Bingqian: "Then what do you think about this matter?" ”

It is definitely a great honor for Gu Bingqian to be humbly consulted by the party leader Wei Zhongxian, and his position in this group is already the best candidate. Therefore, he immediately gathered all his energy and dealt with this matter carefully.

"We are now evenly matched with the Donglin Party, in fact, we have occupied the absolute certainty of victory, that is, through the Yang Lian case, we will completely break the breakthrough, and then implicate all the party leaders in the entire Donglin in one net, so that the Donglin Qunlong will be scattered without a leader, and there will be no capital to fight with us. And I think that the other party must also see this key, and they will definitely do something in Yang Lian's case, so. When he said this, Gu Bingqian turned his head to look at Tian Ergeng: "Lord Tian must escort Yang Lian into Beijing as quickly as possible, and make him confess all the crimes we gave him in the form of a quick knife, so that this matter has become a fait accompli, and this case must be handled as an iron case,"

As for the handling of the case, Tian Ergeng is confident. Jin Yiwei has surpassed the national law of the entire Ming Dynasty, and he has his own prison, whether it is the iron-beaten King Kong or the Nine Heavens God and Buddha, as long as he enters the prison of Jin Yiwei, what he wants him to say, he will definitely say anything,

Gu Bingqian looked at Wei Zhongxian again: "According to what the lower officials have seen, whether it is the Donglin Party or the Xungui Group, if they want to turn this case over, the only chance is to reach the heavens and let the current saints pay attention to this matter." Therefore, the key for us is to completely cut off the emperor's words, and we must not let him know about this matter,"

Wei Zhongxian smiled calmly: "Not all the folds handed over by the foreign court have not yet reached my hands, he can hear whatever I want the emperor to hear, and I don't want him to hear anything, then he will definitely not hear it." ”

Gu Bingqian nodded reassuringly: "As long as Chitose can grasp this key, then Donglin won't be able to make any big waves." Then he frowned and said: "But the British Duke is the emperor's favorite minister, and he can see Tianyan at any time, if he brings something when he sees the fight, it will not be good to explain it in person." ”

Wei Zhongxian squinted his eyes and said: "This doesn't hinder it, I will ask the Holy Decree tomorrow to let him go to the vicinity of Gyeonggi to inspect the Beijing camp, and it will be over, so that he can come back without half a year?" ”

At this time, Wei Guangwei bowed and said: "Nine thousand years old, your method is good, but as the saying goes, there are only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves." If you want things to be done once and for all, you still have to find some way to suppress the forces of the Xungui group, and even if you can't suppress them, you have to teach them a lesson, otherwise it's not a way. ”

Wei Zhongxian squinted his eyes and thought about it for a while, and then shook his head gently: "We must have priority in doing things, and we can't grab the beard and eyebrows." Now our first task is to kill Donglin, and it is not good for us to make too many enemies. For the nobles, we still focus on Huairou. Besides, as far as the honorable representative of the British Duke is a non-moving existence. If we really move the British public, then, our fate will definitely not be much better, hundreds of years of honor, deep-rooted and intricate, not something we can move. ”

At this time, Ruan Dayue stood up and suggested: "Nine thousand years old is thoughtful, I can't wait." But since Xungui has jumped out, then we can't sit idly by, since they have a deep relationship with today, then we might as well have a three-person tiger. Starting tomorrow, we will mobilize our colleagues to collectively impeach them for their lawlessness and to carry out divisive tactics, so that Banzai will slowly alienate them, and it will not do us much harm. ”

At this time, Wu Chunfu, the right deputy of one of the Five Tigers, immediately stood up and took the initiative to ask: "Nine thousand years old, this matter is the one that the lower officials should take care of, and the lawless things of those noble children are known to the world, even if they drown them with an excerpt." ”

Wei Zhongxian clapped his hands and said at the time: "Since his British duke jumped out inexplicably, then he can come first and be an example of killing chickens and monkeys." ”

Wang Huai of the Metropolitan Procuratorate smiled: "To deal with the British duke, there is no need to frame him, there is a case in our hands now, but recently everyone has been busy dealing with Donglin and has not taken care of him." At this time, this matter is not big or small, and it just disgusts him. ”

All the people looked at Wang Huai together, this guy has coveted the position of Shuntianfu Yin for a long time, this time let's see what means he has? If this person is mediocre, he can't count on that important position.

The eunuch party employs people, not blindly as long as they take refuge, but also to be shrewd and capable, or it will not develop so fast, this Wang Huai is among the investigations. In terms of employing people, it is also for the country, such as Sun Chengzong of Donglin, Yuan Chonghuan, Yuan Keli, Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Sichang and other pillars of the country are also at its key point. And these people don't give color to Wei Zhongxian, and Wei Zhongxian can also endure it in every way.

But on the other hand, Donglin later, whether it is his own people or enemies, one word - whole.

Wang Huai smiled and saluted Wei Zhongxian and said: "Father-in-law, not long ago, the superintendent of the imperial history Wang Fen handed over an official document, saying that the British government had encroached on 500 acres of private land in several places in the suburbs of Beijing, and villagers from all over the country had petitioned and cried out for grievances. ”

"There's such a thing? It really doesn't make sense. Wei Zhongxian was born as a peasant, and in his heart, he cherished the peasants, and when he heard that the British were greedy for people's land and bullied the peasants, he frowned at that time.

The matter of embezzlement of people's land was already commonplace in the late Ming Dynasty, where land annexation was very serious, but everyone turned a blind eye, and if they didn't say it, it was fine, and if they said it, it was a big deal.

"And what are you going to do?" Wei Zhongxian pondered for a moment and asked.

Wang Huai knew that this was the beginning of the examination and teaching of him, so he immediately responded with his spirit. "The child thinks that this matter should be handed over to the Shuntian Mansion, if the Shuntian Mansion handles it impartially, then he will offend the British Duke, and their purpose of pulling Xungui into Donglin will be shattered. If he doesn't handle it impartially, then we can fold the bullet to impeach him Shen Guangzuo is afraid of the powerful and defeats this remnant party leader of Donglin together. ”

All people's eyes lit up, this is indeed a good way, a good idea to kill two birds with one stone, as long as this case is handed over to Shuntianfu, it is equivalent to giving him Shen Guangzuo a hedgehog, no matter how he judges, it will be harmless to his group.

Wei Zhongxian nodded and praised in a low voice: "It's usable, I'll leave this matter to you." ”

Just this faint compliment, Wang Huai, who liked it at the time, almost fainted, as long as this comment, his future was considered proper.
