After reading the confessions of the two witnesses, Zhu Youzhen's face became very ugly.

He has always thought that Wen Tiren is non-partisan, and Wen Tiren often said this to him.

In Zhu Youzhen's eyes, Wen Tiren has always been a lonely person, and even after the rumors happened, there were very few people who were willing to come forward to defend and speak for him.

In his opinion, this small number of people just stood on a fair position and spoke for Wen Tiren.

Zhu Youzhen would never have thought that Wen Tiren would actually have a party affiliation.

"There is a party in the body!"

After being silent for a long time, Zhu Youzhen said to himself. Then, rummaging through the dragon book case for a while, he turned out the letter that Wen Tiren handed over a few days ago, and wrote three words on it - let him go.

This is Wen Tiren's resignation, and when it is sent to Wen Tiren's house, he is eating.

In the past few days, Wen Tiren has been a little uneasy in his heart.

There are two reasons, one is that the ballad spread throughout the capital. As a matter of fact, this method of using public opinion to attack political opponents is quite naïve, but it is not completely useless. But what disturbed him the most was that he found a witness who identified Cao Huachun as taking bribes, and let the people from Dongchang arrest him.

Once that person confesses, coupled with this ballad, the emperor will probably doubt himself.

But that's not enough!

Wen Tiren is confident, and he can't fix himself with these. As long as the emperor gives himself a chance to defend himself, it can be said that the people of the factory guard are bent into a trick, and in fact this is also their tradition.

How could he have thought that Zhang Hanru had already entered Beijing and let Li Xiuwen's people detain him?

Coupled with Zhang Hanru's confession, many things could not be hidden, and Zhu Youzhen no longer gave him a chance to defend himself, and directly sent Song Shu back.

On his resignation, the three vermilion fonts were very dazzling and very scorching.

This is a bit different from what was expected. After seeing these three words, the chopsticks in Wen Tiren's hand for eating fell to the ground.

He thought that Zhu Youzhen would keep him again. This time, however, he found himself wrong.

A generation of powerful ministers has come to an end.

Wen Tiren, the old fox, has fallen, but the little fox in his mouth is still enjoying life leisurely.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Xiuwen got up early as usual for morning exercises.

Yang Wenan took Yang Yuankui home as early as after participating in the ceremony.

After Li Xiuwen's appearance, he didn't show much opposition to his son's martial arts. only said that learning martial arts should be used for self-defense, so that his son could focus more on studying hard.

Although Yang Yuankui also studied kung fu hard, the time was still short, and he only followed Li Xiuwen to learn some basic skills and swordsmanship moves. It will take at least a few months to see the results.

The master leads the way in, and the cultivation depends on the individual.

What will happen in the future is up to him.

Qian Qianyi's matter was successfully resolved, and Li Xiuwen still had a lot of credit, and Cao Huachun was very grateful to him in his heart.

Because he had to wait by the emperor's side, Cao Huachun was inconvenient to go out of the palace, so he asked Wang Zhixin to set up a banquet on his behalf and made a special trip to thank Li Xiuwen.

The banquet was placed in Sihailou, and Wang Zhixin also invited Luo Yangxing over. This time, Wen Tiren was successfully brought down, which was the result of the cooperation of the celebrant supervisor, Dongchang, and Jinyiwei.

Of course, no one knows, in fact, Li Xiuwen has made a lot of efforts behind the scenes.

Coming out of Sihailou, Li Xiuwen refused Luo Yangxing's invitation to go home and walked alone in the direction of Xue Guoguan's house.

That ballad actually attacked not only Wen Tiren, but several cabinet scholars.

Wen Tiren, as the first assistant of the dynasty, was the first to be affected by public opinion, and Qian Qianyi's case completely made him fall.

But Li Xiuwen knew very well in his heart that Zhu Youzhen had always trusted Wen Tiren. Xue Guoguan was recommended by Wen Tiren, even if he has been in the cabinet for a short time and is not enough to be the first assistant, he will definitely be able to win Zhu Youzhen's trust.

Who will be the first assistant after Wen Tiren, Li Xiuwen has no impression at all. Because the term of office of those people is too short, in the historical records, they have not stirred up many waves at all, and naturally they will not be known to the world.

Li Xiuwen wrote a ballad, which directly alluded to several veteran pavilion elders, naturally in order to reduce their status in Zhu Youzhen's heart.

Now, he has slandered everyone else, and Xue Guoguan's status in Zhu Youzhen's heart will inevitably rise in a straight line. Then what he said would naturally have more weight than the other elders.

If you want Zhou Wang to regain three guards, the attitude of the two people is the most critical - Cao Huachun and Xue Guoguan.

As for the Qiqing of the current dynasty, as well as some important ministers who hold authority, it is good that they can support it, and it is not very important that they do not support it.

People will always have some weaknesses, and the easiest of them to deal with are those who are greedy for money. Many of these ministers still like money, and it shouldn't be a problem to stuff some silver bills by themselves. The rest of the people can fight for it, and it doesn't matter if you can't.

Xue Guoguan had just returned from the court at this time, and when he heard that Li Xiuwen had come to visit, he knew that he must have come to blackmail himself and do things for him.

Previously, Li Xiuwen had stopped his sedan chair, saying that he had something to help him, but he didn't say what it was. Now that Wen Tiren has just arrived, he has come to the door, isn't it......

Thinking of this, Xue Guoguan couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart, and when he thought of what had happened recently, he began to have some suspicions, Qian Qianyi's case was very likely to be Li Xiuwen's conspiracy!

Li Xiuwen led people to the study, exchanged a few words with Xue Guoguan, and then said straight to the point: "Xue Ge must also know that Xia Guan is a person from Kaifeng, and his family is in Kaifeng City. Now, the rebel army has entered the territory of Henan, and is making chaos around Kaifeng every day, and my heart is always up and down, and I am very uneasy! ”

Xue Guoguan was puzzled: "Aren't the soldiers and horses of the imperial court quelling the chaos?" ”

Li Xiuwen smiled: "I'll tell you the truth, many people may not like to hear it." It has always been difficult for the court to achieve great results in quelling chaos, and I don't believe them. ”

"What does Master Li mean?"

Xue Guoguan naturally knew that what he said was the truth. The use of troops on both sides of the imperial court made it difficult to extinguish local rebellions for a while. This has been going on for so many years, and it is not something that can be done by words.

Otherwise, there would not have been a situation where people were recruited last year and rebelled again this year.

Li Xiuwen said with a smile: "Although I am in the capital, I still have some understanding of the situation in my hometown. King Zhou now has some financial resources, and it is said that he intends to restore Sanwei Tuntian and recruit soldiers for self-defense, I don't know what Lord Xue thinks of this? ”

When Xue Guoguan heard this, he understood what the other party meant. Earlier, he had heard that Li Xiuwen had a close relationship with the royal family, and he thought that he wanted to promote this matter because of a lot of benefits from King Zhou.

He was shocked in his heart, what did King Zhou want soldiers and horses to do? Is it really just for self-preservation? Or is he going to rebel?!!

So, Li Xiuwen wants to rebel?

This idea was just fleeting in his heart, and Xue Guoguan didn't believe that Li Xiuwen dared to do something rebellious.

Li Xiuwen is still very young, he is already in a high position, and he is good at power, and he will definitely be able to become a supreme minister in the future. Although he is a little out of favor now, he is not stupid enough to take refuge in a small vassal king.

King Zhou's rebellion is even more ridiculous, and after restoring the three guards, how many soldiers and horses can there be? Fifteen thousand? Or even twenty thousand? Does he dare to use a corner of the land to fight against the hundreds of thousands of troops of the imperial court?

The previous son, Zhu Shaoxuan, didn't such a big force be cut off in an instant?

Speaking of which, King Zhou is still righteous in this matter, if he really wants to rebel, do you need to wait until this time?

Even so, Xue Guoguan was still unwilling to agree to this. can give people a handle, and he can't help but agree to Li Xiuwen's request. I had no choice but to nod and say: "This official supports this matter, there are three things and one thing, you just say it." ”

Li Xiuwen smiled and said, "For the time being, this is the only thing, I can help Lao Xue Ge, and the last thing will be talked about then." ”

After talking about things, Li Xiuwen got up and said goodbye. Before leaving, he turned around and said, "By the way, this matter is all Xue Ge Lao's own will, and it has nothing to do with me. ”

Xue Guoguan gritted his teeth and watched him leave, but he was helpless. He understood that the other party was warning him, don't go to the snitch, otherwise everyone will finish playing together!

He really had such an idea, if he falsely accused Li Xiuwen of rebellion, what was the possibility of success?

But this kind of thing can't be said casually without evidence. Don't splash dirty water at that time, Li Xiuwen was angry and handed over the letter to the emperor, and his career would be over. (To be continued.) )
