Master of Ceremonies.? Eight? 一Chinese (一).

"Chief, Wang Wenyan recruited, he accepted Xiong Tingbi's old 100,000 taels of silver, and gave them to Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Gu Dazhang and others."

When Wei Zhongxian was flipping through the courtiers' recitals, Lu Xing walked in quickly, and put the confession in his hand on the table in front of Wei Zhongxian with a smile.

As for whether Wang Wenyan's confession is true, how much is true, Lu Xing doesn't care, what he cares about is that Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou, the big members of the radical faction of the Donglin Party, are involved, which is the most important thing, and it is also what Wei Zhongxian wants to see the most.

"Good!" Wei Zhongxian glanced at the content of the confession, and a sneer appeared on his face, with Wang Wenyan's confession, he could attack the Donglin Party.

The Donglin Party has been attacking Wei Zhongxian a lot these days, as if Wei Zhongxian was a heinous sinner in the Ming Dynasty, which made him hold back his anger in his heart for a long time.

For a long time, Wei Zhongxian, who was at the center of the political situation in the capital, endured the difficulties of the Donglin Party, and now that he had the opportunity, he would naturally go all out to strike a blow against the Donglin Party.

"Boss, do you want to arrest Yang Lian and them?" Lu Xing knew that Wei Zhongxian was extremely disgusted with the Donglin Party, thinking that it was a group of hypocrites, and when he saw that the confession was willing by Wei Zhongxian, he asked in a deep voice.

Like Wei Zhongxian, the officials of the original Qi, Chu, Zhejiang and other factions also hated the Donglin Party that exterminated them, so they naturally wanted to see the Donglin Party unlucky.

"Keep this confession for now, tomorrow is the day when the emperor summons the chief officials of the yamen of the major ministries to the Qianqing Palace to discuss matters, and we will do it after Lord Xu and they move first.

Wei Zhongxian shook his head, took a sip of the hot tea on the side, and replied in an orderly manner, he had already arranged everything, and was waiting to make a move to the Donglin Party tomorrow.

The next day, the main hall of the Qianqing Palace.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse routinely convened the cabinet members and the chief officials of the five governments and six ministries to discuss the military and political affairs of the imperial court, and since Yang Lian impeached the Donglin Party, the officials of the Donglin Party and the anti-Donglin Party camp would quarrel every time.

Of course, because the chief officials of the major ministries in the court were the majority of the Donglin Party, the officials of the anti-Donglin Party camp were at a numerical disadvantage in the quarrel, but this did not affect their fighting spirit at all, and they were not to be outdone to argue and argue with the officials of the Donglin Party, and when the situation was fierce, the two sides almost fought a big fight.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse, who was sitting on the dragon chair, watched all this in the hall with cold eyes, with a trace of disdain on the corner of his mouth, a Wei Zhongxian made these courtiers who usually regarded themselves very high as noisy like vendors in the market.

"Your Majesty, the ministers impeached Yang Lian, the left deputy capital, and the left Guangdou Party, the right capital, the Imperial History, and the Zuo Guangdou Party, recruited power and bribes, and disrupted the dynasty."

Just when the people at the scene were arguing, Xu Dahua, the secretary of Dali Temple, suddenly walked to the front of the hall and bowed to the Emperor of the Apocalypse and said loudly.

Brushing it, hearing this, the originally noisy hall suddenly quieted down, and people looked at Xu Dahua in surprise, no one thought that he would suddenly point the finger at Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou, which undoubtedly stabbed the hornet's nest of the Donglin Party.

"Your Majesty, Lord Xu framed the court officials, his heart can be punished, and I hope the emperor will punish him severely." The official Shangshu ** Xing was the first to come back to his senses, and after his face sank, he said to the Emperor of the Apocalypse in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, Lord Yang and Lord Zuo are dedicated to the country, and their loyalty can be learned." Subsequently, Sun Wei, the imperial history of the left capital, bowed to the Emperor of the Apocalypse and reported loudly.

"Your Majesty, what Lord Xu said is ridiculous, I hope the emperor will investigate it strictly and give justice to Lord Yang and Lord Zuo." Immediately after, the Donglin Party officials at the scene bowed to the Emperor of the Apocalypse one after another, supporting Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou.

"Your Majesty, the ministers will never have the same party to fight against differences, recruit power and accept bribes, I hope the emperor will see clearly!" At this time, Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou, who were standing in the main hall, knelt down in unison, looked at the Emperor of the Apocalypse and said.

"Lord Xu, do you have any evidence?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse, who was drinking tea, put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Xu Dahua under the gaze of everyone.

Obviously, Xu Dahua is the "Lord Xu" in Wei Zhongxian's mouth, and he is a sharp blade for Wei Zhongxian's offensive against the Donglin Party.

Perhaps, even Xu Dahua doesn't know now that what he did today will set off a bloody storm in the court.

"Your Majesty, since the emperor ascended the throne, Lord Yang and Lord Zuo have indiscriminately impeached the members of the Donglin family in Central Africa, who are as powerful as a tiger and as evil as a wolf, so they are called 'Yang Zuo', and the officials of the Donglin family have never been impeached by the two."

Since Xu Dahua had impeached Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou, he had naturally been prepared, and when he heard the words, he said in an orderly manner, "Your Majesty, who is not a sage or a sage, and there are many officials in the Donglin family, are they all high and loyal?" Isn't this partisan and disagreeing? ”

"In addition, as far as the minister knows, Lord Yang and Lord Zuo have been promoted one after another, so the number of people looking for their affairs is increasing day by day, and many people are giving generous gifts to each other, and the two adults will laugh and accept them without shirking, this is not a bribe?"

As he spoke, Xu Dahua bowed to the Emperor of the Apocalypse and said loudly, "I hope that the emperor will be clear, clean up the source, and return the court to peace." ”

"It's nonsense, Lord Yang and Lord Zuo are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and the impeached person is not a traitor, where does the party come from?"

**Xing Wenyan suddenly sneered, stared at Xu Dahua expressionlessly and said, "As for recruiting power and accepting bribes, it is even more nonsense, the two adults are dedicated to their duties and lead by example, they are really models for hundreds of officials!" ”

"Adultererous Section?"

Xu Dahua looked at ** Xing coldly, "Zhao Shangshu, do you mean that the officials of your Donglin family are all Qing officials with clean sleeves in the Ming Dynasty?" You pat your chest and ask yourself, is your industry still small? Where do they come from? ”

"Ridiculous, those industries we are waiting for are all earned by the blessings of the emperor and the court, and now the Ming Dynasty is peaceful and peaceful, which courtier's family is not rich?"

When Sun Wei heard this, he immediately opened his mouth to refute it, and Xu Dahua had the ability to bite this matter tightly, anyway, there were few officials in the court who confiscated the benefits, and a clean official like Hai Rui was simply different.

Therefore, if you really want to make trouble, no one should try to curry favor, and the officials of the original Qi, Chu and Zhejiang parties have been in charge of the government much longer than the Donglin Party, so they have collected more bribes than the Donglin Party.

"All good things are taken up by the officials of your Donglin family, as if you are all saints who do not eat the fireworks of the world, and what you do is the right way in the world, and what others say is to bring disaster to the government, so what is the reason of heaven?"

Xu Dahua is naturally not stupid enough to get entangled in this kind of thing, and said with a sneer when he heard this, to be honest, he has also accepted the filial piety of others, and how many people can be good in such a bureaucratic atmosphere?

If you really want to find a few officials from the court who have not received or sent property, then there are only Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, the two of them have a solid family background and are not short of money, plus the promotion of the two is not only related to their own strength but also related to the emperor's weight, so they have not received money or sent money, and they can be regarded as two outliers in the officialdom.

The officials of the Donglin Party and the Qichu and Zhejiang parties mentioned here naturally refer to those court officials who hold considerable power in their hands, and those officials whose identity and status are not enough cannot become a member of both sides at all, after all, the Donglin Party and the Qichu and Zhejiang parties are not grocery stores, and anyone who wants to enter can enter.

"Lord Xu, the matter of your impeachment is very important, if you don't have real evidence, don't mention it again, otherwise I will be severely punished!" Xu Dahua's voice lagged behind, and seeing that the officials of the Donglin Party wanted to open their mouths to refute, the Emperor of the Apocalypse took the lead and said to Xu Dahua with a serious expression.

"What the emperor said is very true, and the minister must find a way to find evidence to prove that what the minister said is true." Hearing this, Xu Dahua bowed to the Emperor of the Apocalypse and replied.

Seeing this, the Donglin Party swallowed back the words that came to their mouths, since the Emperor of the Apocalypse had already scolded Xu Dahua, then there was no need for them to dwell on this matter anymore, now their goal was to defeat Wei Zhongxian, not to fight with Xu Dahua here.

"I'm tired, and that's the end of today's business."

However, the Emperor of the Apocalypse seemed to be tired of this never-ending quarrel in the main hall, and then got up and left.

"Congratulations to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." Seeing this, the ministers in the main hall immediately bowed down to bid farewell to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Yang Lian's impeachment of Wei Zhongxian had been in trouble for several months, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse was naturally tired of this.

Wenyuan Pavilion.

"Master Fu, Wang Zhongshu didn't come today, the lower official sent someone to his house, and now there is no one at home, and he sent a letter last night to say that he won't come back."

As soon as Ye Xianggao and ** Xing and several other brains of the Donglin Party entered the courtyard of Wenyuan Pavilion, an official of Wenyuan Pavilion came to meet him, and said after arching his hand to him, Wang Zhongshu in his mouth naturally refers to Wang Wenyan.

"Do you know where Wang Zhongshu went?" Ye Xianggao couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard this, this situation was too abnormal, so he asked quietly.

"Lord Huifu, Wang Zhongshu had a party last night, but he went home after the banquet was over, and I don't know where he went." The official shook his head, and he inquired around, but there was no trace of Wang Wenyan.

Wang Wenyan was taken away by the people of Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi who were ambushing on the way last night, so no one knew his whereabouts at all.

"Master Fu, is something wrong with Wang Zhongshu?" At this time, the ** star standing next to Ye Xianggao couldn't help frowning and said, Wenyuan Pavilion is an important place for government affairs in the Ming Dynasty, so how dare Wang Wenyan not come to Wenyuan Pavilion to be on duty?

"Send someone to find it, even if you turn over the capital, you have to find the whereabouts of Wang Zhongshu."

Ye Xianggao suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, Wang Wenyan was a member of the cabinet, so few people dared to touch him, and then he groaned and ordered in a deep voice, the top priority is to find Wang Wenyan as soon as possible.
