In the envious eyes of the officials, Yao Sixiao was invited into the Mansion of the State of Qi. However, envy is useless, in terms of official position, Yao Sixiao is Ying Tianfu Yin, a high-ranking official of the third grade, and his rank is far above them.

However, Yao Sixiao was not as excited as they thought, but his heart was full of apprehension. Unlike officials who waited outside who chose to take refuge in Chen Yue, the Duke of Qi, in order to get a good position, Yao Sixiao had to come.

A few days ago, under the order of Shi Kefa, Yao Sixiao led the Ying Tianfu envoys to join the soldiers and horses of the five cities to attack the Yamen of Fusi in Beizhen, and he had a feud with Jinyiwei. And Liu Neng, the commander of Jinyiwei, is a person from Chen Yue, the Duke of Qi, even if Chen Yue is generous and does not care about himself, but he offends Jinyiwei, Yao Sixiao is afraid that he will not be able to sleep and eat in the future.

Resign and return home? Yao Sixiao was afraid that he would not be able to return to his hometown. For officials, Jinyiwei is definitely a terrifying existence, even if you are not guilty, you will be framed for a crime. What's more, in this incident, the officials who support Tang Wang don't know how many will be taken down, if Chen Yue charges these people with going against the party, they will just wait for the house to be killed.

Yao Sixiao was also a member of the Donglin Party, but at this time he couldn't care about his reputation and had to ask Chen Yue for forgiveness.

"Xiaguan should visit Tianfu Yin Yao Sixiao to meet the Duke of Qi." Seeing Chen Yue, Yao Sixiao knelt down and bowed without saying a word, since he chose to beg for mercy, his face was no longer careless.

"Alas, Lord Yao, why is this so." Chen Yue hurriedly put on the appearance of a corporal Lixian, and helped Yao Sixiao up with both hands.

......

At dusk, the officials on duty in the cabinet left the imperial city, and with a command, the imperial city was closed and locked, and according to the rules, unless there was a major matter, the city gate would not be opened again until dawn the next day.

Shi Kefa took a sedan chair back to the mansion, and before he could eat dinner, the next person came to report, and Lu Daqi, the secretary of the criminal department, Gao Hongtu, the secretary of the household department, and Liu Zongzhou, the imperial history of the right capital, came to visit.

In the imperial court, although most of the officials are Donglin Party members, but there are factions, Qian Qianyi because he first attached to the king of Fu and quickly switched to Chongzhen at a critical moment, and was despised by some people in the court, and the current court is basically headed by Shi Kefa and Qian Qianyi. And Lu Daqi, Gao Hongtu, and Liu Zongzhou are the core figures of Shi Kefa's party.

And this time Qian Qianyi's speculation against Tang Wang failed, most of them will not end well, and the Qian Party is likely to disappear, but with Chen Yue's entry into Beijing and his authority, there will be a large number of people to take refuge in Chen Yue, and the situation in the future will still be grim. Shi Kefa thought that the three of them were here for this.

"Yuanfu, have you heard, Yao Sixiao went to the Duke of Qi Mansion." As soon as he saw Shi Kefa, Lu Daqi shouted.

Shi Kefa was stunned, "What's the matter?" ”

Yao Sixiao is Ying Tianfu Yin, and he is also a core figure in Shi Kefa's party, so he can't help but pay attention to Shi Kefa.

"What else can I do, seeing that Chen Yue is very powerful, he went to take refuge." Lu Daqi shook his head and said disdainfully.

Shi Kefa's face sank, he didn't expect such a thing to happen.

"Yuanfu, do you really plan to promote Princess Kunxing to supervise the country?" Liu Zongzhou asked

Shi Kefa nodded: "Otherwise, it will not be able to make Qi Guo's peace of mind." ”

In order to quickly eliminate the rebellion, Shi Kefa did not make much publicity about the negotiation with Chen Yue, but just talked about the matter of the three princes together with the matter of the Tang Wang, telling everyone that Chen Yue did not want to rebel against the Ming Dynasty and claim the emperor, but to get the edict of Princess Kunxing to avenge the three princes and Chongzhen, and the Tang King is likely to be related to the killing of the three princes. As for the matter of Princess Kunxing being the prisoner of the country, Shi Kefa did not dare to publicize it, because he knew that there would be many opponents, and if the delay in making a decision caused Chen Yue to be impatient to attack the city, it would be a disaster.

"But how can there be a woman in charge of the country in all dynasties? Ji Si Chen, does Yuan Fu want my Ming court to become a laughing stock? Liu Zongzhou said angrily.

In the imperial court, Shi Kefa is a well-deserved leader, but if you talk about the depth of knowledge and the breadth of writings, Liu Zongzhou can be said to be second to none, in the hearts of many readers, Liu Zongzhou's thoughts directly follow Wang Yangming, and his "cautious independence" doctrine is widely spread among scholars, even Qian Qianyi can not be compared with Liu Zongzhou.

However, the more learned people are, the more proud they are, Liu Zongzhou disdains the Lappen Party, and is far inferior to Qian Qianyi's actions in the officialdom. In Liu Zongzhou's view, "governing the heart" is the foundation of relieving the difficulties, ethics first, benevolence and righteousness as the foundation, and his stubbornness insists on his mental thinking. In the original Beijing court, Liu Zongzhou was dismissed by Chongzhen three times, and after arriving in Nanjing, no one was available, so he had to be reactivated, but he was not allowed to hold such an important position as the six Shangshu, but appointed him as the right capital of the imperial history.

In the opinion of Liu Zongzhou, who is sticking to his heart, Princess Kunxing's supervision of the country is too ridiculous, the country is not right, can there be hope for Da Mingyan?

Shi Kefa patiently explained his last resort, if he did not agree with Kun Xing to supervise the country, he would inevitably force Chen Yue to rebel, and it would not be difficult to break Nanjing with Chen Yue's force, and then he would ascend the throne or support Princess Kun Xing to supervise the country, no one could stop it, and then it would be a huge disaster for the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty would even be destroyed because of it.

However, Liu Zongzhou shook his head again and again for Shi Kefa's explanation, "If the country is not right, the country will not be at peace, even if Chen Yue does not seize the Ming Dynasty now, how can he stop it when his power is stable?" Yuanfu's move is really a tiger for trouble, please forgive me for not agreeing! The Tao is not the same, and tomorrow will hang the crown and leave! ”

Liu Zongzhou said and left directly, no matter how Shi Kefa called and never looked back.

"If you are, Ziyou, do you want to abandon your official position?" Shi Kefa asked with a trembling voice. Yan Ruo and Ziyou are the words of Lu Daqi and Gao Hongtu. If Lu Daqi and Gao Hongtu also abandon their official positions, Shi Kefa's supporters in the court will be greatly reduced, and the situation will be even more difficult.

Gao Hongtu couldn't bear to look at Shi Kefa: "Xia Guan understands Yuanfu's hard work, and is willing to stay in the DPRK to assist Yuanfu to maintain the situation and fight Chen Yue to the end!" ”

Lu Daqi said: "Yuan Fu don't pay attention to Liu Zongzhou's old man, he is stupid when he reads and reads, his head is like wood, let's all go, wouldn't it be to give Chen Yue both hands of the court, and then he wants to promote Princess Kunxing as a prisoner or stand on his own, wouldn't he do whatever he wanted?" ”

Shi Kefa was suddenly moved: "With Yanruo and Ziyou to assist the old man, we will definitely be able to stabilize the situation in the imperial court and curb Chen Yue's selfish desires, and the Ming dynasty cannot be lost in our hands." ”

"Yuanfu, now that even Yao Sixiao has gone to seek refuge with Chen Yue, let's think about it, how to control the imperial court. Chen Yue could control the military power, but the imperial court could not let him interfere no matter what. Gao Hongtu said.

Shi Kefa nodded, "Ziyou, don't worry, the old man has a certain number in his heart." Princess Kunxing can supervise the country, but the court must call the shots! ”
