At the end of the 10th year of the Apocalypse, the Dongchang Fanzi who captured Zhou Qiyuan had not yet arrived in Zhangzhou, and the Dongchang Fanzi who captured Gao Panlong all the way set out on the road again.

Father-in-law Wei was still slow to react this time.

The arrest of Gao Panlong has not yet arrived, Gao Panlong has calmly "raised himself to clear the pool" at home, and Gao Panlong committed suicide by throwing himself into the water.

As early as when Dongchang's fanzi had not yet left Beijing, Gao Panlong had already obtained the relationship between the Suzhou people and Zhou Shunchang's surrender.

From the mouth, Gao Panlong also figured out the cause of the incident: it was because of the arrest of Zhou Qiyuan by Dongchang. He even knew the charges against Zhou Qiyuan in Dongchang.

Father-in-law Wei's secrecy work did not work at all.

After getting the news, Gao Panlong did not panic.

He calmly paid homage to the ancestral hall of the sage Yang Shi, arranged his own funeral, and left a neat suicide note to Dongchang Fanzi, so he calmly followed Qu Yuan and committed suicide.

The wishful thinking made by Gonggong Wei was all shattered with Gao Panlong's suicide.

Hearing the news of Gao Panlong's suicide, Wei Zhongxian was furious.

What a good opportunity, it was lost because of Gao Panlong's death.

Wei Zhongxian didn't expect that Gao Panlong's death was not just as simple as committing suicide in fear of crime.

The news of Gao Panlong's suicide spread quickly.

His death quickly triggered verbal and written criticism of Wei Zhongxian by scribes from all over the world.

For a time, public opinion in various places was noisy.

Note that it is not only the Donglin Party that accuses Wei Zhongxian this time, but the vast majority of literati in the Ming Dynasty.

Wei Zhongxian really tasted what Qianfu was referring to this time.

Even within the eunuch party, there are people who secretly complain about the unwiseness of Father-in-law Wei.

Although Gao Panlong's official position is not too high, his status as Donglin Wenzong makes him enjoy a high reputation in the Ming scribe class.

In the Ming Dynasty, the dominance of the Wenchen family for hundreds of years has made the morale of the scribe class rise to the point of no return.

Everything is inferior, but reading is high.

This kind of thinking concept is not a joke, this is the cognition of all the people of the Ming Dynasty.

With you, Wei Zhongxian, a eunuch and eunuch, you also want to challenge the scribe class of the Ming Dynasty?

Overestimate one's strength or oneself.

Gao Panlong, a member of the Donglin Party, used his death to push Wei Zhongxian to the opposite side of the Ming scribes in one fell swoop, and it was irretrievable.

The neutral factions in the court also voiced grievances against Wei Zhongxian.

Just like the recognized neutral figure in the DPRK, Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, couldn't help but feel sorry for Gao Panlong's book.

Gao Panlong has been a friend of Yuan Keli for many years.

Yuan Keli's letter marks that the position of the neutral faction of the Ming Dynasty has begun to drift towards Donglin.

"Spread the word to the world!" Wei Zhongxian said dejectedly.

If you want to further crack down on the Donglin Party, it seems that there is no chance.

Under the pressure of such public opinion, if a clear explanation is not given, the situation will be uncontrollable.

At the beginning of November of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Zhou Qiyuan embezzled 100,000 yuan from the public and handed it over to Gao Panlong for use. and Gao Panlong's use of corrupt public servants to maintain a series of crimes in Donglin Academy, which were reported by the imperial court and made known to the world.

Seeing that Wei Zhongxian had sent out a report about Donglin Academy, Zhu Youzhen shook his head.

Father-in-law Wei really doesn't pay attention to the public opinion front.

The methods he used to arrest people were also too covert, and as a result, the secrecy was not kept, but instead appeared to be sneaky.

Wei Zhongxian is obviously an upright anti-corruption, but in the end he made such a mess. This is a great lesson.

Failure to control public opinion is the biggest flaw of the eunuch party.

Speaking of which, Gao Panlong is also really powerful.

He knew that he couldn't explain the financial problems related to Donglin Academy, so he simply died.

His death not only preserved his reputation, but also reversed the public opinion that was unfavorable to the Donglin Party.

On the one hand, there is a clean and honest reputation who was forced to commit suicide, Donglin Daru (the halo brought by Yang Lian and others), and on the other hand, there are notorious eunuchs with ruthless means (the reputation of the eunuchs is really not very good).

Do you need to say anything more?

Gao Panlong and others, who have a good reputation, even if they are corrupt, they also use their money on Donglin Academy, is this still called corruption?

What's more, the Chinese people have always had a tradition of treating the dead as the greatest, and any stain is a death and a shame for the dead.

Forcing such a Wenzong to death, Wei Zhongxian is too much, right?

Wei Zhongxian didn't issue this kind of crime report until this moment, it was too late.

It will only appear that the eunuchs are pouring dirty water on the dead.

The people who eat melons will not believe it.

Things were not as Zhu Youzhen expected.

The imperial court's Ming Di Bao not only did not calm down the public opinion of the anti-Wei Dynasty, but on the contrary, it added fuel to the fire, making the call for the anti-Wei Dynasty higher and higher.

On the occasion of mourning Gao Panlong, Donglin party members in various places vigorously expressed their dissatisfaction with the imperial court, and there were not a few who directly insulted Wei Zhongxian.

The whole Ming Dynasty was in turmoil.

The scholars in the world were agitated, and it seemed that they had the potential to overthrow Wei Zhongxian in one fell swoop.

In desperation, Wei Zhongxian once again released the winning hand.

"Alas!" Emperor Zhu Youxiao sighed softly, and he put the few thick dossiers in his hand on the table.

This is a detailed information compiled from Dongchang, Jinyiwei, the cabinet and the local yamen.

How could the Donglin Party be like this?

The goodwill he had accumulated a few years ago for the Donglin Party members is now gone.

Yang Lian's charges may be somewhat unjust.

But Zhou Qiyuan and Gao Panlong are conclusive evidence.

How could they embezzle the court's servants to build their own academies?

Compassion is pitiful, but sins are unforgivable.

No wonder the silver in the treasury is inexplicably missing.

This Zhou Shunchang is even more hateful.

What is the difference between his actions in Suzhou and the Zhao family in Qingzhou?

Is there really a Ming and I in his eyes?

Suzhou, which is good, is about to become a place outside the Ming Dynasty.

What should I do?

It's so stressful!

Principal Zhu let out a sullen breath.

Well, those Diao people won the bet.

I didn't dare to move Suzhou.

I really didn't dare to move Suzhou.

The tax relationship in Suzhou is too great to be lightly moved.

I really hope that Xiao Wu will grow up soon.

With his ability, he will definitely be able to earn a lot of money for me. Then I won't have to be so aggrieved anymore.

By the way, I still have a treasure ship.

As long as that big ship is built, it will bring back a great deal of wealth from abroad, and I don't need to be so scrupulous anymore.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Zhu Youxiao's face.

When my treasury is no longer short of money, I will definitely put the Ming Dynasty in order.

Let those tyrants see the majesty of the royal family.

Looking at the information on the desktop, Zhu Youxiao's face showed embarrassment again.

What should I do now?

According to the content of the information, these will never be fake.

I'm not blind, I'm not stupid, I'm not so confused, I can't even tell the truth from the fake.

According to the information, I should continue to support Wei Zhongxian.

But now the literati outside are making too much trouble.

Continue to support Wei Daban, the pressure is so great!

Still is......
