It has long been clearly proved in history that the Donglin Party members are the so-called righteous men and gentlemen, and they are also staunch supporters of the orthodoxy of the etiquette system.

If it had been changed before, let alone mentioned, even if King Fu sent someone to visit, he would definitely have driven out these old guys.

But today's situation is a bit special, when Sun Ru lobbied the name of King Fu, except for Yang Lian's mouth moved, no one else reacted.

Has times changed? Or has people's mindset changed?

In fact, nothing has changed, what has changed is people's hearts, the little emperor is not to be seen, Wei Zhongxian and his gang are aggressive, these so-called upright gentlemen, for their own interests, have to put aside some things that they originally thought were right in their hearts.

Han Kuang sneered suddenly, and said, "What about King Fu? Without the support of the army, what do you want to do? ”

Everyone knows that Ye Xun and Fuwang Zhu Changxun do not deal with each other, and now in addition to the Gyeonggi army, the Liaodong army has been counted recently, and when it comes to the elite of the army, the Liaodong army has thrown out the Beijing camp a few streets.

In other words, unless he has Ye Xun's support, King Fu has no chance of winning at all.

Yang Lian frowned and said, "Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this?" ”

Who hasn't thought about the consequences? But if it weren't for the moment of life and death, how could these Donglin Party members, who regard etiquette and Taoism as more important than their lives, take care of King Fu?

Zhou Jiamo, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "Ye Xun is not allowed today, this is obvious to all, what if King Fu Chitose can tolerate Ye Xun?" At least Ye Xun won't bear the infamy of being a rebel and thief, and I think Ye Xun won't care about his reputation! ”

Although Zhou Jiamo didn't say it explicitly, everyone understood the meaning, that is, let King Fu contact Ye Xun himself.

The advantage of this is that the Donglin Party is not directly involved, and once King Fu and Ye Xun reach an agreement, they can echo it in the court, so as to achieve the purpose of changing the dynasty.

Zuo Guangdou frowned and said, "I think Zhugong is taking it for granted?" When the first emperor ascended the throne, Ye Xun was a staunch supporter of the first emperor, if Ye Xun was willing to support King Fu at the beginning, it would not be today's situation, so we still have to think about what to do if this matter doesn't work out."

"I agree with Brother Zuo's opinion, and the first emperor is not the last son of the present"

It was Yang Lian who spoke, and in the final analysis, he still advocated that the descendants of the first emperor succeed to the throne, rather than the outsider King Fu.

Yang Lian's words are even more taken for granted, Zhu Youxiao is young, his body is still passable, and he has not committed any major crimes, can he be replaced just by these old scholars in front of him? To put it bluntly, there is still no support from the army.

At present, the British Duke who controls Beijing, Jinyiwei is Wei Zhongxian's dogleg Liu Qiao, and the East Factory is under Wei Zhongxian's own control.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to do something with a few ministers.

The atmosphere was a little dull, and after a while, Liu Yijing said: "Let's do it both ways!" It just so happened that Ye Xun was in the capital, Lord Yang took a trip, after all, you had a relationship before, Lord Sun sent someone to inform King Fu's people, and asked them to contact Ye Xun by themselves, presumably His Royal Highness King Fu can understand what we mean."

Ye Xun secretly left the capital, although he didn't show up these days, he knew that he was the emperor's ambassador, and the wedding date was approaching, so it stands to reason that he shouldn't leave.

Several Donglin bigwigs didn't know that their every move had long been under the close attention of Jinyiwei, and even Ye Xun, who later returned to the capital, received the same news.

This is the biggest difference between the so-called upright people and those who are good at conspiracy, these Donglin Party members are not unable to rectify people, and even have to say that they are their strengths, but when it comes to conspiracies, they are far behind.

Looking at the secret report sent by Jinyiwei, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help laughing, these practices of the Donglin Party are called self-inflicted and cannot live, with these people backing him, he can better implement the plan.

Wei Zhongxian did not delay, and immediately sent the secret report to Zhu Youxiao after he had processed it again.

Listening to the little eunuch next to him read the list and the contents of the secret report submitted by Wei Zhongxian, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but be surprised, he never expected these Donglin Party members to be so bold.

Zhu Youxiao, who reacted, had the first thought of giving an order to arrest people, but before the words came out, he stopped at the edge of his mouth.

Turning his head to Wei Zhongxian, he said, "Do you think Ye Xun will be on their side?" ”

Wei Zhongxian said with a smile: "Your Majesty, although the leaf thief is disrespectful, the slave can vouch for it, he will never be in the same league as these Donglin Party people."

Wei Zhongxian knew very well what Zhu Youxiao was afraid of, and the only one who could really make Zhu Youxiao sleep and eat was Ye Xun alone.

Wei Zhongxian knew that Ye Xun would not hook up with the Donglin Party, but Zhu Youxiao was still a little worried.

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao was still looking at himself with doubtful eyes, Wei Zhongxian continued to smile and said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that when Ye Xun entered Beijing, Han Kuang went to find him, combined with this secret report, if Ye Xun really colluded with the Donglin Party, I am afraid it will not be today's situation."

When Wei Zhongxian mentioned it, Zhu Youxiao immediately reacted, isn't it! At that time, Ye Xun's soldiers pressed the border, if Ye Xun really had the heart to change the emperor, and there were Donglin party people echoing in it, he really couldn't say that he would do it, and now it seems that Ye Xun is still on his side.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but be slightly moved in his heart, but he was soon replaced by resentment, this Ye Xun humiliated him too much, even if he died a hundred times, it was not too much.

"Smack!"

Slammed the table and said murderously: "Spread my will, quickly arrest all the Donglin Party members, if there are any resistors, kill them!" ”

Zhu Youxiao is really angry, since he succeeded to the throne, although he has become more and more estranged from the Donglin Party, but this is a balancing act of the emperor, and he will not really kill these Donglin Party people, but these people are good, they actually want to unite with outsiders to overthrow themselves? Is it tolerable or unbearable, since this is the case, then let them disappear completely!

Zhu Youxiao didn't know that the persecution of the Donglin Party was actually done by Wei Zhongxian, he just made the Donglin Party feel that he believed in Wei Zhongxian more.

Holding Zhu Youxiao's will, Wei Zhongxian almost didn't cheer, in the future, who else in this court will be his opponent Wei Zhongxian?

With Wei Zhongxian's order, Dongchang and Jinyiwei dispatched at the same time to start a large-scale arrest of the officials who were extremely close to them from the Donglin Party.

The incident happened suddenly, and the Donglin Party had no defense at all, and they were almost wiped out.

In fact, although their conversation that day was a bit rebellious, there was no evidence at all, and the secret report that Zhu Youxiao saw was completely improved by Wei Zhongxian, and a fool would be angry when he saw it, not to mention that Zhu Youxiao was illiterate, and others read it to him.

You must know that the Donglin Party still occupies the main position in the court, and the two cabinet scholars, the secretary of the ministry, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the imperial history of the Inspectorate, etc., are all prominent positions, and now they are suddenly arrested, which immediately set off an uproar in the capital...
