After thinking for a moment, Zhu Youzhen felt a little irritable, and he asked directly: "Ruan Dacheng, what can you do for Lone?" ”

"This ......" Ruan Dacheng was stunned by Zhu Youzhen's questioning.

It's not this routine!

Shouldn't the king of faith lift him up with his own hands, invite him to sit down, and make him his lord?

Even if King Shin doesn't like him anymore, doesn't he have to do it on the surface?

Isn't this the standard way to collect talent for thousands of years?

Why doesn't His Royal Highness the King of Letters play cards according to the routine.

Seeing that Ruan Dacheng didn't speak and was just in a daze, Zhu Youzhen raised his voice again and asked, "Well, what can you do for Lonely?" ”

King Xin's frank questioning really made it difficult for Ruan Dacheng to parry. He can't answer, I can set an example for you to recruit officials, right?

But to answer something else, Ruan Dacheng really needs to think about what he can do for King Xin.

"Your Highness," Ruan Dacheng thought for a moment, and then resolutely spoke: "The ministers have nothing else to do, but they still have a little understanding of the officials in various parts of the court, I don't know if they can help His Highness?" ”

While Ruan Dacheng was thinking, Zhu Youzhen was also thinking.

In the previous life, Ruan Dacheng rebelled and surrendered, but in this life, he may not have a chance to surrender. There were too many people who had no bones in the previous life and the end of the Ming Dynasty, and these people lacked discipline and could not be used, but there was no need to beat those people to death with a stick.

Those people are all human spirits, and I believe that as long as Daming can always remain strong, those people will never take refuge in others.

"I know the officials of Daming very well, and this is really a reason worth taking action."

After listening to Ruan Dacheng's explanation, Zhu Youzhen was noncommittal, and he asked directly: "Then who do you say Li Sancai is?" Why did "Donglin Point General Record" put him in the first place. ”

As soon as he heard Wang Xin's inquiry, Ruan Dacheng felt like he had eaten a reassuring pill in an instant and became refreshed. He must pass the exam questions issued by His Royal Highness King Xin with a full score in order to reflect his value.

Ruan Dacheng pondered for a moment, knelt there and spoke.

Li Sancai, a native of Tongzhou, Shuntianfu, was born in a military household and was a jinshi in the second year of Wanli. He served as a magistrate, a scholar and a politician, a governor of Caoyun, a governor of Fengyang, and finally a tired official to the head of the household.

Li Sancai has suppressed bandits, killed tax collectors, arrested tax supervisors, and scolded the emperor in his life; He has been the governor of Caoyun for more than 10 years, and he has never had any trouble, and he is worthy of the four words of capable ministers.

"That's amazing." Just based on this resume dictated by Ruan Dacheng, Zhu Youzhen was impressed by Li Sancai.

Looking at Ruan Dacheng, who was still kneeling, Zhu Youzhen pointed to the Taishi chair next to him and beckoned him: "Get up, sit down and say." ”

"Your Highness." Ruan Dacheng slowly got up, he knelt for a long time, and his legs were a little numb.

"Your Highness, as for Li Sancai becoming the leader of the Donglin Party, that's the case." Ruan Dacheng slowly sat down on the Taishi chair and put on a storytelling posture.

Li Sancai was a student of Wang Xijue, the first assistant of the cabinet, in the middle of Wanli, and Wang Xijue was very optimistic about him and regarded him as the heir to the mantle.

Speaking of which, Wang Xijue is a senior of the Zhejiang Party. Li Sancai, as Wang Xijue's protégé, should also become a talent in the Zhejiang Party. But no one in the Manchu Dynasty officials expected that Li Sancai would betray his division and throw himself into the arms of the Donglin Party, and he also made great contributions to the coming to power of the Donglin Party.

Listening to Ruan Dacheng say this, Zhu Youzhen had a little more guess about Li Sancai being listed as the leader of the Donglin Party. He glanced at Ruan Dacheng and thought to himself: It seems that no matter what era, traitors are always the most hated.

Ruan Dacheng looked at King Xin, licked his lips, and continued.

In the thirty-fifth year of Wanli, the Wanli Emperor wanted to reactivate Wang Xijue and specially recruited him into Beijing. Wang Xijue was 74 years old at the time, and he didn't want to wade into the troubled waters of the imperial court again. However, for the sake of Emperor Wanli's continuous summons, Wang Xijue replied to Emperor Wanli with a letter.

In the letter, in response to the unscrupulous squirting of the officials in the DPRK and China, Wang Xijue advised Wanli not to be angry about this, and also advised Wanli to "leave all the chapters in the middle, and treat them as birds and birds in the forest". Wang Xijue's original intention was to persuade Emperor Wanli not to be angry with the Yanguan, and not to punish the Kedao Yanguan for this.

But just such a private letter to the emperor, the content was leaked by Li Sancai.

At that time, Yu Shenxing, the first assistant of the cabinet, was seriously ill, and Ye Xianggao, a member of the Donglin Party, tried hard to become the first assistant of the cabinet. Do you think? If Wang Xijue returns to Beijing, won't Ye Xianggao's first assistant seat fly?

In this way, the content of Wang Xijue's private message was rumored to be known to the Manchu Dynasty. As soon as I heard Wang Xijue compare the speech officials to birds, the speech officials exploded in an instant, and Wang Xijue was a faction of verbal criticism and writing. Wang Xijue's hope for a comeback is completely over.

In this matter, it was the Donglin Party that benefited the most, and it was the Zhejiang Party that suffered the most. And Li Sancai's behavior in this matter can be regarded as a deception of the teacher and the destruction of the ancestors. Can the Zhejiang Party not hate Li Sancai?

What's more, Li Sancai has also repeatedly impeached the leader of the Zhejiang Party, Shen Yiyi. If you want to evaluate the person who the Zhejiang party hates the most, Li Sancai is definitely well-deserved.

Saying this, Ruan Dacheng licked his lips again. This time, Zhu Youzhen finally noticed, and he beckoned Wang Chengen to bring a hot tea to Ruan Dacheng.

When the tea came, Ruan Dacheng didn't care about the heat of the water, and took a few sips before continuing to say the following.

Li Sancai and Gu Xiancheng, the founder of the Donglin Party, were good friends, and the early funds of Donglin Academy were all raised by Li Sancai. Of course, the little money needed by the academy, Li Sancai, the governor of Caoyun, didn't pay attention to it.

But because of this relationship, the Donglin Party has a very high evaluation of Li Sancai between the government and the opposition, and has always compared him with Zhang Juzheng.

Li Sancai is extremely high-profile. You see that he even dares to arrest the tax supervisor and the emperor to scold, you know his style.

In the thirty-seventh year of Wanli, in view of the serious shortage of people in the cabinet, the imperial court wanted to add several candidates to the cabinet. At this time, Li Sancai jumped out again, he actually wanted to enter the cabinet!

In order to enter the cabinet, Li Sancai and Gu Xiancheng operated with all their might. One of them was in the court and the other was in the opposition, and they launched a huge action to enter the cabinet together.

Unfortunately, Li Sancai committed a big taboo of Da Ming Wenchen.

In Daming, if you want to enter the cabinet, you must first be from Hanlin Qingliu.

To put it bluntly, non-Beijing officials who have served as local officials are not eligible to join the cabinet. This is the unspoken rule of the Ming Cabinet that has lasted for nearly 200 years since its establishment.

Li Sancai's rash challenge to the unspoken rules aroused the unanimous opposition of all factions in the imperial court, and the Donglin Party was also very reluctantly drawn into the war. The Wanli party struggle officially kicked off from that moment.

Even with Gu Xiancheng's help, Li Sancai still failed to withstand the joint counterattack of all factions in the end. In the thirty-ninth year of Wanli, the disheartened Li Sancai resigned and returned to his hometown.

After that, Li San wanted to recover several times, and there would be the greatest opposition in the DPRK and China. It wasn't until the third year of the Apocalypse that Li San died of illness, and the ministers of the DPRK and China were all opposed to him (including some Donglin Party members).
