When Wen Zhenmeng pointed at Li Kuilong and scolded him, Liu Zongzhou finally reacted and knew that something was wrong, "Since Your Majesty has recognized your superiority and said that you want to govern the world with benevolence and righteousness, how can you immediately use a tiger and wolf like Li Kuilong?" ”

Liu Zongzhou made up his mind, and after Wen Zhenmeng finished speaking, he would persuade Chongzhen not to be deceived by the villain.

However, Wen Zhenmeng was still unsatisfied after accusing Li Kuilong, and actually turned the spearhead directly to Liu Zongzhou. At this time, not only Li Kuilong, who was trying to distinguish himself, was stunned, but even Liu Zongzhou, who was thinking about how to persuade Chongzhen, was shocked to forget what he wanted to persuade Chongzhen.

After Yao Ximeng heard his uncle impeach Liu Zongzhou together, he suddenly jumped a little anxiously. Wen Zhenmeng failed ten times in the examination, and he was only a great man in the world at the age of fifty, and his life was basically accompanied by scriptures, but he was born in a famous family, his family was rich, and he did not worry about food and clothing.

In such an environment, Wen Zhenmeng has developed an outspoken character, but it also makes him rarely take into account the feelings of others. Yao Ximeng's father died when he was less than a year old, and he was raised by his widowed mother Wen, so in terms of human sophistication, Yao Ximeng is much more mature than his uncle.

He grew up with this uncle since he was a child, and he studied together, and the relationship between the two is quite deep. For Liu Zongzhou, the leader of Donglin, he knows more than his uncle. Although this gentleman is good at moral learning, it is not only because of his own knowledge that he can enjoy today's fame.

Liu Zongzhou's maternal grandfather, Zhang Yingzhang Shulu, was proficient in "Yi Xue" and was a famous scholar in eastern Zhejiang. Although Zhang Shulu did not do well, he lectured for decades, from more than 1,000 scholars, among the outstanding protégés are Xu Jie, Tao Wangling, Zhou Yingzhong and other famous scholars.

Although Wen Zhenmeng's grandfather Wen Zhengming is famous, it refers to the name of the text, and the place is not out of Jiangnan. In terms of the depth of family background and the breadth of contacts in the DPRK and China, the Wen family is really inferior to Liu Zongzhou.

Therefore, when Wei Zhongxian was at his most arrogant, Liu Zongzhou dared to impeach Wei Zhongxian and refused the order of the Apocalypse to summon him back to Beijing. And the apocalypse can only cut him down, and Wei Zhongxian has nothing to do with him.

And Liu Zongzhou once studied under Xu Fuyuan, who taught two disciples, one was named Feng Congwu, who was the leader of the Donglin Party in the northwest; One is called * Recommendation, who is regarded by outsiders as the leader of Donglin under Li Sancai.

Therefore, after Liu Zongzhou was sparse, when Chongzhen used the topic to play, the Donglin Party members in the DPRK were silent, because most of the Donglin Party members in the DPRK and China had such and such a relationship with Liu Zongzhou.

Although Han Yi is from Shanxi, he has little to do with Liu Zongzhou. But he didn't want to fall out with Liu Zongzhou for this, because the gains outweighed the losses.

The reason why Yao Ximeng wanted to stop Wen Zhenmeng from speaking out was because he knew that his uncle had always been open-mouthed, and he didn't know that he had offended people. And he also knows very well that his uncle's prejudice against Liu Zongzhou is not a day or two. Wenjia Zhixue talks about two classics, "Yi Xue" and "Spring and Autumn".

And Liu Zongzhou studied under his maternal grandfather, and he also began to study "Yixue", originally the two families should have the same friendship, but Liu Zongzhou later studied under Xu Fuyuan and changed to Yangming.

In Wen Zhenmeng's view, this is equivalent to betraying the master. And Liu Zongzhou's cautious and unique statement is about introspective kung fu, and Wen Zhenmeng, who is not interested in mental learning, is even more dismissive of Liu Zongzhou's proposition.

Seeing that his uncle criticized Liu Zongzhou as a hypocrite without scruples, Yao Ximeng knew that Donglin would have a lot of trouble in the future.

Regarding Wen Zhenmeng's sudden accusation, Liu Zongzhou, who has always been cautious and independent, also trembled angrily. After he took a deep breath, he didn't pay attention to Wen Zhenmeng at all, but bowed to Chongzhen and said: "The ministers are sparse, it is completely out of a public heart, and now there are villains who are making trouble, reversing black and white, and misinterpreting the ministers' intentions. The minister was willing to go to work and return to his hometown to show his innocence. ”

Wen Zhenmeng was rejected by Chongzhen as an emperor a few days ago, and he felt disgraced, and he had an evil fire in his heart for the past two days. Just now, Chongzhen's courtesy to Liu Zongzhou exceeded the specifications, which made Wen Zhenmeng think that Chongzhen was waiting for Liu Zongzhou to enter Beijing to serve as his teacher.

Originally, Wen Zhenmeng didn't think about being Chongzhen's teacher, but Ni Yuanlu and others talked about his nephew Yao Ximeng, and after several people persuaded him together, he reluctantly agreed. It's not that he feels that Chongzhen is not qualified to be his student, but Wen Zhenmeng feels that his own family background and knowledge are the best choice, plus he is the champion of the world, there is really no need to grab the position of the emperor.

Wen Zhenmeng was worried that he would be ridiculed by the world as a person who tended to be inflammatory, so he rejected the proposal at first. But when Chongzhen rejected his proposal to be a teacher, Wen Zhenmeng, who originally didn't care, became concerned about the position of the emperor's teacher.

Wen Zhenmeng wanted to know who Chongzhen wanted to be his teacher, and Wen Zhenmeng didn't think that there were still many people in the Ming Dynasty who were more talented than him. Chongzhen's vastly different attitude towards him and Liu Zongzhou made Wen Zhenmeng, who was not convinced by Liu Zongzhou, suddenly lose his temporary reason.

He took the opportunity to criticize Li Kuilong, blurted out at once, and directly pointed the finger at Liu Zongzhou. In fact, after the criticism, Wen Zhenmeng regretted it a little, which seemed to be a little inappropriate for a Donglin party, and he might be laughed at by the eunuchs.

But Liu Zongzhou then ignored Wen Zhenmeng's posture and accused him of being a villain, which made Wen Zhenmeng's heart suddenly disappear.

Wen Zhenmeng was also not to be outdone, and said to Chongzhen: "The minister's heart can be learned every day, but if there is a little selfishness, the minister is willing to invite himself back to his hometown." If there are no ghosts in someone's heart, why should he threaten the king by begging to go? ”

"You..." Liu Zongzhou finally turned his head and looked at Wen Zhenmeng angrily. If it weren't for the court meeting, this Taoist gentleman would probably really have to argue with Wen Zhenmeng about right and wrong.

Chongzhen looked at the two vindictive ministers, and his head was a little big for a while. He didn't expect that he just walked a few steps, helped up one person, and split the seemingly monolithic Donglin Party.

"Is this because the eunuchs are too weak, or are they too strong?" Zhu Youzhen secretly complained to himself in his heart. Although Zhu Youzhen was happy to see the Donglin Party split, it did not mean that he was willing to let the two Donglin ministers go home.

The two opposing ministers have gone back, and the Donglin Party in the court is not monolithic again. Besides, there are not many people in the Donglin Party who insist on it, and most of them are flies and dogs.

For those Donglin literati who have no bottom line and no political integrity, Zhu Youzhen is also a headache. But today, the education power of the Ming Dynasty is in the hands of these shameless literati, no matter how disgusted Zhu Youzhen is, he has to pinch his nose and use them.

With Liu Zongzhou and Wen Zhenmeng, the two leaders of Donglin, at least these civil officials can be restrained. Otherwise, let Chongzhen quarrel with these civil officials all day long, then he won't do anything.

Zhu Youzhen was thinking about who would interrupt him, so that he could coax the two vindictive Donglin leaders first. But except for Liu Zongzhou's panting voice, the court meeting was unusually quiet now, and no one was involved in the dispute between the two Donglin leaders.

Zhu Youzhen quickly glanced around, and found that the eunuchs were gloating on the side with a smile, while the Donglin party was worried and didn't know what to do.

Out of the corner of his eye, Zhu Youzhen saw Li Kuilong kneeling on the side, although Li Kuilong's head was facing the ground, he couldn't see the expression on his face. But without Zhu Youzhen thinking about it, he also knew that Li Kuilong must be secretly happy in his heart.

"Are you guilty of the right vice-capital?" Li Kuilong is happy that the two Donglin Party ministers eat dog by themselves, since Wei Zhongxian left Beijing, the speech officials controlled by the Donglin Party have been constantly attacking him, trying to control the entire imperial court. Suddenly, a young man's voice suddenly rang in his ears with a somewhat changed voice.

Chongzhen's sudden questioning not only surprised the other officials who were still paying attention to the two Donglin Party members who were in a stalemate, but even Li Kuilong was made to stammer, not knowing what His Majesty meant by suddenly attacking him now.

Liu Zongzhou and Wen Zhenmeng, who were waiting for Chongzhen's verdict, heard that what they heard was not Chongzhen's final decision, but Chongzhen's criticism of Li Kuilong. This made the two Donglin leaders, who were originally holding their breath and wanted to force Chongzhen to choose between the two, were now a little dazed.

Zhu Youzhen didn't give others time to think, and continued to raise his voice and reprimand: "It's all the right deputy Du Yushi, your misbehavior in the past, which caused others to lack trust in you. Look, it's because of you that Mr. Qishan and Wen Taichang are always moved. I kind of know why the Taoist officials are only keen on party disputes all day long, this is because the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked. Tell me, are you guilty? ”

Although Li Kuilong's ability is a little worse, he is a good hand at observing words and feelings. He immediately heard that Chongzhen was using him to cut him down, this was to divert his attention and want to relieve the siege for the two Donglin leaders.

Although Li Kuilong very much wants the Donglin Party members to continue to fight inwardly, it is best to break up, and there will be no appearance in the court in the future, and the Donglin Party members will unite to criticize them as eunuchs.

But Li Kuilong has always been a person who takes more than his own intentions and relies on unprincipled obedience to Wei Zhongxian. On weekdays, he can only be submissive to Wei Zhongxian, but now in the face of thighs that are thicker than Wei Zhongxian, he dare not have the slightest disobedience.

Li Kuilong, who finally hugged Chongzhen's thigh, naturally did not dare to oppose Chongzhen's intentions. So he replied with a bitter mouth: "The minister is guilty, and the minister's past behavior has made His Majesty embarrassed today, and the minister is willing to be dealt with by His Majesty." ”
