Zhang Zhiqi picked up a meat bun, took a bite, and said while eating: "Now that you Donglin people are at the end of your rope, you have been forced out of breath by the eunuchs, and the entire court situation has been controlled by Wei Zhongxian, I wonder if you still have the courage to go against Wei Eunuch?" ā€

Sun Yueling frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?" Do you want us to launch a counterattack against Wei Zhongxian again? In the current situation, it is really not the right way to go. ā€

"What? Don't you dare? Zhang Zhiqi snorted coldly and said, "Of course, your strength is far from enough now, but with us, maybe the whole situation will be different." ā€

Sun Yueling put down his chopsticks, pondered for a moment, looked at Zhang Zhiqi's eyes and said, "Could this be what Guogong and his old man mean?" ā€

Zhang Zhiqi was noncommittal, and said calmly: "In vain, my father expects so much from you, it turns out that he is also a cowardly and afraid of things." As soon as he said this, Sun Yueling understood that Zhang Zhiqi did not save him for no reason, but on the orders of his father Zhang Weixian, who wanted to win him over to deal with Wei Zhongxian.

Sun Yueling was surprised: "With all due respect, the target of Wei Zhongxian's full suppression is our Donglin, not your lord's forces, why do you seem to be more nervous than me?" ā€

Zhang Zhiqi looked up at him and said seriously: "You are wrong about this, do you think that the person Wei Zhongxian wants to deal with is only you Donglin?" Now whether it is the royal relatives or the official eunuchs of the family, they are all the targets of his Wei eunuch. After a pause, he continued, "Wei Gelding changed his method to oppress these children of the family, and did everything he could, just like last time, he actually bewitched the Son of Heaven to reward the princes and ministers in Beijing with the privilege of riding horses in the imperial city, forcing us to pay a large sum of silver. This is not the end, what is even more excessive is that he actually took this privilege back, and then granted it again, and so on three times, forcing my father to pay as much as 50,000 taels of silver...... Is it tolerable or intolerable, you say, how can we have no opinion on him? ā€

When Sun Yueling heard this, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly. He had already heard of Wei Zhongxian's money-making method promulgated by the Apocalypse, and even Li Ruobing won this grand prize and was forced to give up 30,000 taels of silver. There are countless high-ranking officials and magnates in the Jingshi who have won this award, and I am afraid that with this alone, Wei Zhongxian has blackmailed millions of taels of silver, not to mention that there are many other methods.

It is no wonder that the British Guild hated Wei Zhongxian to the core, I am afraid that not only the British prince, but also many princes and ministers in the capital were extremely disgusted with Wei Zhongxian, but they were helpless.

But having said that, after experiencing many things, Sun Yueling did not oppose Wei Zhongxian's move at the moment, at least it could increase a lot of revenue for the treasury and domestic funds, and greatly alleviated the predicament caused by agricultural taxes and poor salaries.

At a deeper level, who is he Wei Zhongxian? From the perspective of later generations, it is just a dick who counterattacks the powerful, representing the interests of the lower classes. As for the imperial relatives and the Donglin Party, most of them are composed of the second generation of rich people and the second generation of officials, who are rich and powerful, if they don't shoot them, do you want Gonggong Wei to cut down on those bottom of society?

Even if Wei Zhongxian has committed a thousand crimes, in this regard, he is also a very courageous figure, at least he dares to act.

Now that Wei Zhongxian's actions have touched the interests of these high-ranking officials and magnates, they are naturally unbearable, so it is no wonder that they want to unite with the Donglin Party to counterattack Wei Zhongxian together.

But what could he say? In all fairness, he is not very opposed to Wei Zhongxian's move, there is no country where there is no home, he has always held the idea of serving the country and donating funds for the country, otherwise he would not have launched the Chamber of Commerce in Chengdu to raise funds for the peace of the rebellion.

If the traders have made a fortune by relying on the state, why can't they be generous when the country is in trouble?

Therefore, he is also very disgusted with the persistence of these second generations of officials and rich second generations, and if he is in charge of the court, I am afraid that these people will also be used. Of course, this is just a vague concept in his heart, and it has not yet taken shape, after all, he has neither the right to make decisions in the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, nor is he a spokesman of the Donglin Party, and it is not his turn to make up his mind about these things.

However, if one day he can really take charge of the court situation and become the leader of the Donglin Party, maybe he will really carry forward Wei Zhongxian's "pioneering deeds", and it is unknown whether he will intensify it. Of course, if there is such a day, he will do it more ingeniously, and people will have nothing to say, at least the first thing to do is to reverse the outdated and rotten concept of the entire Donglin people.

Even if it is impossible to do something, he must try to give it a try, and it is not in vain for him to come to the Ming Dynasty, otherwise, if he just comes to play soy sauce, wouldn't it be a trip in vain?

Zhang Zhiqi looked at him in a daze, frowned, and said, "What are you thinking?" Did you hear what I said? Do you have the courage to bring down Wei Zhongxian with us? ā€

Sun Yueling Huo Ran came back to his senses and said to him: "Commander Zhang, it's not that I don't dare to deal with Wei Zhongxian, he is originally the great enemy of our Donglin people. I don't think this is the best time to do it, because Wei Eunuch is a saint and has won the emperor's favor, but I am afraid that we will not be able to defeat him if we join forces. ā€

Zhang Zhiqi shouted angrily when he heard this: "Speaking of which, you still don't have the guts. Hmph, in vain, my father looked up at you, saying that you are the most intelligent and forbearant person among the Donglin people, it seems that he also has the wrong person. ć€ć€‘ā€

"Don't be angry, Commander." Sun Yueling hurriedly said, "Now is really the time has not come, please tell the prince that as long as it takes another three years and two years, I, Sun Yueling, dare to guarantee with the head of the item, Wei Zhongxian will fall!" Since he came, history always likes to play tricks on people, and there has never been any major deviation, so he thinks it is better to follow the original trajectory of history, and wait until the day when Chongzhen ascends to the throne, can Wei Zhongxian survive?

"Three years and two years?" Zhang Zhiqi became even more angry after hearing this, "What are you kidding? If we really have to wait until that day, I'm afraid we will have been completely exploited by Wei Zhongxian and driven out of the imperial court. ā€

Sun Yueling's face was solemn, and he said sincerely: "Please believe me in the commander and the official affairs of the state, after a few years, Wei Zhongxian will be arrogant and poor, and provoke the anger of the world, then is the real time to bring him down!" There is no other way for us to do but wait and forbear! ā€

Zhang Zhiqi sneered: "I really can't imagine that I worked hard to save you, and you just repay me with such an attitude." ā€

Sun Yueling said: "I will remember the grace of the commander to save him, and I will never dare to forget it!" ā€

Zhang Zhiqi brushed his sleeves and snorted angrily: "You eat slowly, this time I will save the wrong person, if there is a next time, even if I see you being beaten to death, this commander will not come to the rescue!" So he turned and left, leaving him there alone.

"Commander Zhang, Commander Zhang......" Sun Yueling shouted at his back, but Zhang Zhiqi ignored him at all, and strode away.

After Zhang Zhiqi left, Sun Yueling sat alone in the room, feeling unpleasant.

I don't know how the British Duke will feel when he learns his thoughts. But he had no choice but to persuade him as wholeheartedly as he saw in front of him - it was impossible for him to tell others that he was a traverser, let alone that Wei Zhongxian would always be deeply trusted by the Apocalypse, even if he was praised as the "nine-thousand-nine-hundred-year-old grandfather" Apocalypse, he would not be moved, and only when Wei Zhongxian was in the Chongzhen Dynasty would he lose power.

The inability to change history was like a sharp thorn at this moment, piercing deep into his heart, making him feel inexplicable pain.

Sun Yueling ate breakfast in a muffled voice, grabbed a baked cake and put it in his mouth and chewed it, eating it with a loud voice.

At this time, the guy came over and smiled cautiously at him: "This military master, when Commander Zhang left, he once said to the little one, saying that it was for you to pay the bill, and asked me to remind you." ā€

Sun Yueling raised his eyebrows, his heart moved, Zhang Zhiqi just left, he still came to such a show, what kind of trouble is this, are you afraid that he won't give money for nothing?

It seems that this guy is very angry on the surface, but he doesn't really care about it in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have deliberately let the guy say such a thing to him.

When Sun Yueling thought of this, his heart suddenly cleared, he took a bite of the baked cake, and then took a spoonful of rice porridge, and muttered in his mouth: "What kind of taste is this, Lord Commander, what are these things ordered......

……

In the yamen of Dali Temple, Shaoqing Sun Yueling had just brewed a pot of Anxi oolong tea, ready to taste tea slowly. Since he was rescued from the palace by Zhang Zhiqi, he has always secretly inquired about the situation in the imperial city, who knows that the palace is secretive about this matter, as if it has never happened, and there is no hype at all.

But after all, paper can't hold fire, and many well-informed people in the court already know about it. Sun Yueling carefully investigated, and knew that Zhang Zhiqi finally identified the matter as someone trying to sneak into the palace to steal treasures, and found a ghost to kill for the dead, and finally came to a dead end.

After this incident, Tianqi didn't know whether she had enlightened her mind or remembered Concubine Li Cheng, and finally ordered her to be restored to her free body and no longer under house arrest in the palace.

Sun Yueling was thinking about some things that had happened recently, when suddenly Han Qiaoshui sent someone to report that Ye Xianggao's mansion was besieged and his condition was critical.

He was taken aback when he heard this, Ye Xianggao was the head of the court, who dared to surround his mansion?

Sun Yueling couldn't sit still, and immediately sent people to prepare horses and go straight to Ye Mansion. After passing through the streets and alleys, half an hour later, he came to the outside of Ye Xianggao's mansion, only to see that outside the tall courtyard wall, there were eunuchs in the palace, who surrounded the entire Ye mansion, and from time to time shouted insults and shouts, treating the head of the court as nothing.

Sun Yueling jumped off the horse, tied the reins, strode over, and shouted angrily: "What are you doing here, is there any royal law in your eyes, and even Lord Shoufu's mansion dares to surround it?" ā€

When the eunuch saw him coming, the group separated from both sides, and one person walked over from the front and said to him: "It turned out to be Lord Sun, I haven't seen you for a few days, you are a lot tougher!" ā€

When Sun Yueling saw it, he was slightly shocked in his heart, this person turned out to be Liu Dexi, the eunuch who commanded the internal exercise. After being injured by him that day, it took a lot of effort to dissolve the cold strength in his body, and he felt palpitations when he thought about it, and snorted: "Ye Ge is always the head of the court, and he is respected and powerful, you dare to send people to besiege his mansion, are you not afraid of being imprisoned?" ā€

Although he said this harshly, he still lacked confidence in his heart, Liu Dexi dared to besiege the mansion of the head of the dynasty, there must be his reasons in it. Could it be that the Emperor of the Apocalypse wants to expel Ye Xianggao from Beijing?

The thought of this made his heart tremble. Ye Xianggao is the most respected old man among the Donglin people, and has always been the strong backing of the Donglin people. If Ye Xianggao is also expelled, it means that the Apocalypse has completely abandoned the Donglin Party, and the Donglin people will never have a chance to make a comeback.

Liu De liked to take a moment and said with a smile: "Master Sun, you just don't know something." Ye Xianggao's nephew, Yu Shi Lin Ruzhu, privately whipped the inner prison with torture, violating the rules of the court, and the emperor has ordered us to take him to the noon gate to be punished with a court rod. But Lin Ruzhu hid in Ye Xianggao's mansion, there was no way, I had to ask Ye Ge to ask the old man. After a pause, he said, "This is the emperor's will, if Ye Xianggao refuses to hand over people, our family will not be able to hand over to the emperor, Lord Sun, don't you say?" ā€

Sun Yueling was skeptical when he heard this, if what Liu Dexi said was true, then they did have enough reasons to besiege Yefu. It's just that there is no reason for this Lin Ruzhu to be so capricious, knowing that Donglin has lost power at this time, and he still has to work against the eunuchs, he will only bring humiliation on himself if he does this, and even drag Ye Xianggao down.

said coldly to Liu Dexi: "If what you say is the truth, Lord Shoufu will naturally not favor him." However, if you dare to deliberately frame you, you will definitely pay a heavy price for it. ā€

Liu Dexi's eyes flashed, and he replied to him: "Okay, then let's see who will be unlucky in the end." ā€

"Get out of the way, I'm going to go in and see Shousuke." Sun Yueling shouted at the eunuchs.

A smile appeared at the corner of Liu Dexi's mouth, and he shouted, "Let him in." ā€

The eunuchs made way of a road, and Sun Yueling strode in.

After entering the Ye Mansion, he saw Ye Xianggao and Ao Canghai in the main hall, and before he could speak, Ye Xianggao smiled at him and said, "You are here." ā€

After Sun Yueling saluted, he briefly explained the situation outside, and then said: "Elder Ge, Liu Dexi is so arrogant, I must impeach him." ā€

Ye Xianggao sighed heavily, and said, "The old man's nephew is so ignorant of things, it is really stupid to provoke those internal prisoners at this critical juncture. ā€

Hearing him say this, Sun Yueling sighed in his heart. It seems that what Liu Dexi said is true, Lin Ruzhu really violated the rules of the court, so he hid in Ye Xianggao's mansion for refuge, and said, "Then where is he now?" ā€

Ye Xianggao didn't answer, Ao Canghai said for him: "We have secretly taken him out of the capital division and sent him to the Zunhua governor's residence to hide. ā€

Sun Yueling was secretly taken aback, and said tentatively: "What if the emperor pursues this matter?" (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
