Zhan Shi Mansion. Heavenly Voices." ⒉

"Ladies and gentlemen, what is going on with this Jingcha?"

After the people served the fragrant tea, Li Hongyu asked Zhou Jiamo and Cui Jingrong with a serious expression, he had just returned to the capital and did not know the result of Jingcha.

"Alas!"

Zhou Jiamo suddenly sighed when he heard this, and his face showed a bit of anger, "This time, Jingcha impeached as many as 338 officials in the two capitals, which is simply shocking, and those people in Donglin are going to wipe out all the officials in the court who are unfavorable to them this time!" ”

After the results of the Jingcha came out, the officials of the various factions of the Donglin Party in North Korea and Central Africa blew up because the emperor usually appointed, dismissed, and promoted officials based on the results of the Jingcha, which meant that those officials who were impeached in the Jingcha were more than lucky.

After all, the officials who can be appointed by the emperor as the chief officials of the Jingcha are all people trusted by the emperor, so the emperor will not re-examine whether the impeached officials have been falsely accused, and even if innocent people are implicated, they can only consider themselves unlucky.

Just imagine, there are more than 100 impeachers in Jingcha once every six years, and the time in Jingcha is almost a year, where does the imperial court have the time and energy to re-examine?

In addition, in ancient times, cases were not as evidence-oriented as they are now, and as long as there were witnesses, it would be difficult for those officials who were affected to get out of the way.

Moreover, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty used Jingcha to balance the factional relations in the court, so how could he interfere too much with the results of Jingcha?

Although the officials of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang had been mentally prepared in advance and knew that this time Jingcha would be unlucky, they never expected that this time Jingcha would affect all the factions and centrists in the DPRK and China, which was something that had never happened since the founding of the Ming Dynasty and broke the balance of power in the officialdom.

Cui Jingrong and Sun Ruyou are members of the Qi Party and the Zhejiang Party, and as soon as the results of the Beijing inspection came out, they naturally couldn't sit still and wanted to help the Qi Party and the Zhejiang Party come out, and centrist officials like Zhou Jiamo and Lin Yaoyu were also shocked and had to break their silence in order to protect themselves.

"Young Master Li, don't you know, **Xing not only slandered the four ********** of Qi Shijiao, Zhao Xingbang, Guan Yingzhen and Wu Liangsi as the 'four murderers' who disrupted the government and politics this time, but also specially wrote the book "Four Murders", and compared the four of them to the four fierce beasts of Hun Dun, Qi Qi, Qi Qi and gluttony in the Yu Shun period, which is really too deceitful."

When Zhou Jiamo's voice lagged behind, Cui Jingrong couldn't help but say hatefully:

"The four of them just punished those unscrupulous people in Donglin, and there was no violation of law and discipline, but they were framed by Donglin's people like this, which is really unbearable."

Li Hongyu couldn't help but be silent when he heard this, he naturally knew the reason why Qi Shijiao, Zhao Xingbang, Guan Yingzhen and Wu Liangsi were designated as the "four murderers" by **Xing and Sun Wei, who presided over Jingcha, this time.

Although the four Qi Shijiao people are only in the matter, but because they are the officials, they have the power to impeach hundreds of officials, so they became the leaders of the Qi Party and the Chu Party.

Therefore, the Donglin Party naturally hated the four of them very much, and it was just through this Jingcha that these four stumbling blocks were removed, so the Qi Party and the Chu Party would then fall and scatter, and it would be difficult to match the Donglin Party.

It is worth mentioning that Wei Yingjia, who is also a member of the Donglin Party's moderate faction, thinks that **Xing's treatment of the four Qi Shijiao is too heavy, and he does not agree with **Xing's doing.

Just imagine, if the "four murderers" determined by ** star are all from the six branches, then what is the face of the six branches? Hasn't the six branches become a place for the Ming Dynasty to hide dirt and dirt, which makes Wei Yingjia, the official of the six branches, give how to face the world in the matter!

But ** Xing insisted on seeing it, and deliberately wrote the article "Four Murders", comparing Qi Shijiao, Zhao Xingbang, Guan Yingzhen and Wu Liangsi to the four fierce beasts of Hun Dun, Qi Qi, Zhu Zhu and Gluttony in the Yu Shun period, and advocated that ******** expelled Qi Shijiao and others from the court according to Emperor Shun's method of exile of the four murderers, so as not to bring disaster to the capital.

At this moment, ** Xing would never have imagined that he used the "Four Murders" today to compare the four Qi Shijiao to four ancient fierce beasts, and in the coming year, the factions above the court relied on the Emperor of the Apocalypse to counterattack, and compiled the "Donglin Point General Record", which regarded the people of the Donglin Party as one hundred and eight stars of the Liangshan rebellion.

This is not to praise the Donglin Party, but to say that the Donglin Party has formed a party for personal gain, and it is an out-and-out treacherous party.

"Young Master Li, you also know that some officials in the DPRK and China have their own faction and are rarely involved in disputes in the court, but just because they disagreed with the people of Donglin in the 'three cases', they were labeled as traitors by the people of Donglin, and they took advantage of this Jingcha to crack down, they want to monopolize the government and politics!"

Seeing that Li Hongyu fell silent, Lin Yaoyu couldn't help but speak, and said helplessly, as the only non-Donglin Party scholar among the six Shangshu, he now feels extremely pressure, and after the Donglin Party finishes cleaning up Qi Shijiao and others, then the next target is him, the "outlier" in the six.

Obviously, Lin Yaoyu will not join the Donglin Party, in addition to the difference in political views, high-ranking officials and dignitaries like him pay the most attention to face, how can they give up their fame in a low voice to attach themselves to the Donglin Party?

Li Hongyu could only smile bitterly when he heard this, it seems that the radical faction of the Donglin Party is really quite like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves this time, sweeping away the officials who hold opposing opinions in the court, so that the Donglin Party can be in charge of the government alone in the future.

In other words, the Donglin Party offended all the officials of other factions in the court this time, and once the officials of those factions united to fight back, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, at this time, the people of the Donglin Party were in the spring breeze, where would they think of this, in their opinion, the Donglin Party has already controlled the situation, and they are not afraid of those who have been impeached to turn over.

"A few adults, Lord Zhao, what they impeached is the truth?"

After hearing Lin Yaoyu's words, Li Hongyu pondered and asked, secretly smiling bitterly in his heart, even the leaders of the centrist officials in the Ming Dynasty, Zhou Jiamo and Lin Yaoyu, were anxious, so it can be seen that the results of this Beijing inspection are serious.

Moreover, this time Jingcha made there only two factions above the court of the Ming Dynasty, one is the Donglin Party, and the other is the non-Donglin Party.

In fact, Li Hongyu's question was completely superfluous, although he did not know others, but he knew the two leaders of the Chu Party, Ying Zhen and Wu Liangsi, were the people.

The two of them must have done things for personal gain, but the atmosphere of the Ming officialdom is like this, and the people of the Donglin Party do the same, otherwise why would those Beijing officials in the Ming Dynasty be so rich.

Therefore, the actions of Guan Yingzhen and Wu Liangsi have not reached the point of violating discipline and bringing disaster to the country and the people, and there is no way to talk about the "four evils".

It is necessary to see that the literati of the Ming Dynasty are not good at governing the country, but playing with the pen and playing with the tongue is definitely a first-class master of all dynasties, and can be called an expert in infighting.

However, Li Hongyu must ask this sentence, after all, he is not the roundworm in the stomach of Guan Yingzhen and Wu Liangsi, I don't know if the two of them have done those angry things in private.

"The truth?"

Sun Ruyou immediately sneered when he heard this, "There is no excuse for the crime you want to add, according to their standards, at least half of Donglin's people will also be impeached!" ”

"Young Master Li, the emperor's side is almost all Donglin people now, and he has been confused by those officials in Donglin, and now it is difficult for even the official to see the emperor, so he can only ask Young Master Li to tell the emperor the truth.

At this time, Cui Jingrong, who had been silently drinking tea there, put down the teacup in his hand, sighed and said to Li Hongyu, "Alas, now the emperor may only be able to listen to Young Master Li's words." ”

"Rest assured, this official has received the favor of Lord Wanli and the first emperor, and will definitely assist the emperor with all his heart and maintain the law and discipline of the Ming Dynasty."

Li Hongyu's face turned pale when he heard this, and he nodded solemnly to Cui Jingrong and the others, and he had no choice but to get involved in this Jingcha dispute.

"There's Young Master Lao Li."

Zhou Jiamo and Cui Jingrong immediately breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and said to Li Hongyu that Li Hongyu was their last hope, and only Li Hongyu could persuade the Emperor of the Apocalypse to change the result of the Beijing inspection and avoid the Donglin Party from becoming dominant.

When Li Hongyu returned home, it was already late at night, and at night he was called to complain by Wu Liangsi and other important officials who were impeached by the Donglin Party in Beijing, and he tossed until late at night before he came back and didn't even eat dinner.

After all, now that the Donglin Party has put a knife on their necks, where does Wu Liangsi and the others still have the mind to eat, if they don't eat, Li Hongyu will naturally not be able to eat alone.

"Brother Yu, the county lord of Zhaoxiang came to the house in the afternoon, let me hand over this letter to you."

Knowing that Li Hongyu was still hungry, Qin Yue hurriedly asked the people in the family to prepare for supper, and handed a sealed letter to Li Hongyu while Li Hongyu was waiting for a meal in the study.

"Who wrote this?" Li Hongyu looked at the envelope, and now there was no word on it, and he didn't know who wrote it, so he felt a little strange and asked Qin Yue.

"Lord Zhaoxiang didn't say who wrote this letter, only that you would know it after reading it." Qin Yue shook her head, feeling that this matter was very strange, it was the first time that Zhu Wanting had acted so mysteriously.

Li Hongyu immediately realized that this letter should not be simple, and vaguely guessed who the owner of the letter was, so he hurriedly opened the envelope and took out the letter from it to check it.

"It seems that we can go back to our hometown early." After reading the letter, Li Hongyu couldn't help but smile slightly and said to Qin Yue beside him.

"Is it the emperor's letter?"

Qin Yue's eyes lit up when she saw this, and she couldn't help but ask in a coquettish voice, she originally suspected that the person who could make Qin Yue run errands was related to the royal family, but now it seems that it must be a letter written by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, otherwise Li Hongyu would not have said that he would return to his hometown in advance, this is a power that only the Emperor of the Apocalypse has.

"The emperor is not worried about this Jingcha!" Li Hongyu nodded when he heard this, and then handed the letter in his hand to Qin Yue.

"Brother Yu, the emperor is ......" Qin Yue was taken aback after reading the letter, and looked at Li Hongyu with a surprised expression.

"The emperor is going to get back what belongs to him, it seems that there will be another bloody storm above the court!"

Li Hongyu bowed slightly, and his face showed a helpless look, it seemed that the Donglin Party was going to lift a stone to shoot himself in the foot this time.

Seeing Li Hongyu's helpless look, Qin Yue couldn't help but gasp, if even Li Hongyu couldn't stop it, then there would probably be a bloody disaster in the Ming Dynasty.
