In these critical days, the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian had always been proud of the spring breeze.

The Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party attacked each other, and the Apocalypse was already strange. Although the scale is a little larger this time, it is nothing more than a question of who is promoted, who is released, who is demoted, and who goes home to sell sweet potatoes. For the apocalypse, whoever you love, anyway, there is always someone to do and something to do, and that's it.

However, the Donglin Party went crazy collectively this time, and seeing that the impeachment of Wei Zhongxian was not effective, they turned their guns to Zhu Youzhen, and impeached him one after another for his ill intentions, teasing the emperor's playthings, and even chasing after the wind and shadows, and indiscriminately participating in his defilement of the court.

Now the apocalypse is not happy. It was he who was really demoralized, and Zhu Youzhen was just making a move and coming up with an idea. It was he who really messed up the court, not only Mrs. Fengsheng, but even several young concubines left behind by his father Guangzong were also dealt with by him one by one.

In his opinion, it doesn't matter if the Donglin Party puts Wei Zhongxian down, but if you want to take care of yourself, it will be really a big rebellion. Therefore, he successively issued orders to take charge of Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, and Wei Dazhong.

At this time, Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen were defeated in Liaodong, and the remnants of the defeated army retreated to Shanhaiguan and abandoned the land outside the pass.

To say that the apocalypse wastes the government and doesn't care about anything, then it really wrongs him. He really didn't care much about other things, because he felt that they were all small things. But he is still very concerned about the war in Liaodong.

The reason is also very simple, no matter how big other things are, it will not affect him to be an emperor or an amateur carpenter; However, Liaodong is retreating one after another, and Shanhaiguan is not far from the Beijing Division, and if you retreat, you will retreat under your nose. If he really let the Houjin army kill him, he would not be the emperor.

Therefore, Tianqi was furious and immediately issued a strict decree to bring Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhensuo, who had lost their teachers and humiliated the country, into Beijing for questioning.

At this time, the Donglin Party had not yet figured out the situation, but had infighting on the issue of protecting Xiong Tingbi or protecting Wang Huazhen.

The faction headed by Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou made great efforts when Xiong Tingbi rose up and served as the Liaodong Economic Strategy for the second time. If the responsibility for this defeat is entirely attributed to Xiong Tingbi, then they have the responsibility of recommending carelessness, and it is difficult to escape the blame. Therefore, they all strongly supported Xiong Tingbi and advocated severely punishing Wang Huazhen, who underestimated the enemy's rashness.

The other faction, headed by Ye Xianggao, the first assistant of the cabinet, resolutely supported Wang Huazhen, because Wang Huazhen was a disciple of Ye Xianggao, and it was under the vigorous promotion of their faction that he became the governor of Liaodong. And Xiong Tingbi is a native of Jiangxia, born in the Chu Party, and has always been not on good terms with most of the Donglin Party.

Moreover, Wang Huazhen is only the governor of Liaodong, and nominally, Xiong Tingbi is the highest military and political governor in Liaodong. Most of the Donglin Party members did not like Xiong Tingbi's defensive strategy, and whenever Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen disagreed and made trouble in Beijing, they always supported Wang Huazhen's opinion, causing Wang Huazhen to actually put Xiong Tingbi in the air.

This time Wang Huazhen was defeated, although these people regretted it, they could only run all the way to the black, continue to support Wang Huazhen, and put the responsibility of giving up Liaotu to Xiong Tingbi.

Just when the Donglin Party was arguing and the Emperor of the Apocalypse was gradually unable to bear it, Xiong Tingbi, a stupid man, actually bribed himself for self-preservation. He knew that Wang Wenyan, a member of the Donglin Party, had great powers and had a good relationship with the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, so he bribed Wang Wenyan first, and then asked him to bribe relevant officials on his behalf, and promised 40,000 taels of silver.

Although Wang Wenyan is greedy, he is a person who understands, and knows that Xiong Tingbi's case is serious, and Dongchang and Jinyiwei will definitely bypass the Criminal Department and Dali Temple and interrogate them directly. And it is Wei Zhongxian who is in charge of the East Factory, only if this nine-thousand-year-old nods, Xiong Tingbi can be exonerated.

So, Wang Wenyan began to use his connections, and actually really asked Wei Zhongxian. Wei Zhongxian didn't know that it was Wang Wenyan who was spreading the word in the middle, but he only knew that Wang Huazhen was from the Donglin Party and Xiong Tingbi was from the Chu Party, so he already had the heart of favoring Xiong Tingbi. At this time, he heard that Xiong Tingbi could give him 40,000 taels of silver, and immediately agreed to shelter Xiong Tingbi.

Who would have thought that Xiong Tingbi didn't know if his brain was in the water, and he couldn't take out 40,000 taels of silver at all! Wei Zhongxian was tricked, and he was furious, and ordered a thorough investigation into who did this for Xiong Tingbi*. After checking, Wang Wenyan was found out.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed, because everyone knew that Wang Wenyan was an out-and-out Donglin Party member. So, he asked Jin Yiwei to come forward, arrested Wang Wenyan, who had conclusive evidence of bribery, and put him in prison, tortured him, and confessed to which Donglin party members Xiong Tingbi had bribed in addition to him.

Wang Wenyan knew that he would definitely die, but he was also very tough, he was beaten all over his body, and he refused to bite anyone. But Jinyiwei had their own way, they first forged a confession of Wang Wenyan, fabricated the plot that Xiong Tingbi offered bribes to Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and other six Donglin Party members, and then killed Wang Wenyan in prison with a cane, killing people and killing people.

In fact, according to Wei Zhongxian's original intention, he wanted to wipe out all the Donglin party members such as Ye Xianggao and ** Xing. But because the other Donglin Party members didn't speak to Xiong Tingbi at all, if it was said that Ye Xianggao also accepted Xiong Tingbi's bribes, it would be too fake, so they had to give up.

Even so, Apocalypse was furious on the spot after reading the forged confession. It just so happened that Yang Lian and the others defended Xiong Tingbi that day, making the apocalypse more faithful, and they did accept bribes. Thinking of the Donglin Party's continuous attacks on Zhu Youzhen in recent days, Tianqi finally killed the killer and ordered Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Yuan Huazhong, Wei Dazhong, Zhou Chaorui, and Gu Dazhang to be dismissed from their posts and questioned on charges of "accepting bribes, befriending border ministers, and bullying the monarch".

The Donglin Party was suddenly hit by this major blow and was in a state of confusion for a while. The members of the eunuch party celebrated with their crowns and made persistent efforts to launch a new round of larger-scale liquidation of the Donglin Party.

Among them, there are some more "talented", referring to the one hundred and eight generals in "Water Margin", and also making a "Donglin Point General Record", wanting to compile all the important Donglin Party members into it and eradicate them one by one.

Yesterday for the whole day, Wei Zhongxian was busy filling up this "Donglin Point General Record" with his subordinates, so that it could be presented to the angry Emperor of the Apocalypse the next day.

But at this moment, he suddenly learned that Tian Ergeng, the governor of Jinyi Wei, acted without his consent and sent someone to assassinate Zhu Youzhen, the king of Ning, who secretly left the palace. The result was poorly prepared and a complete failure. Fortunately, the assassin was either killed by Lin Youkun, who was escorted, or committed suicide without revealing his identity.

At this once-in-a-lifetime juncture that can bring down the Donglin Party in one fell swoop, Tian Ergeng has extraneous branches, which provoked Wei Zhongxian to be furious, and called Tian Ergeng to scold him with a slap in his face.

Tian Ergeng originally wanted to kill Zhu Youzhen, who was regarded as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh by Wei Zhongxian, to give his godfather a big surprise, but he didn't expect that it would not be enough if the matter was messed up, and it would make the godfather angry. After he went back, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't afford to get sick.

After Wei Zhongxian learned about it, he had no choice but to let Xu Xianchun temporarily take over the power of Jinyiwei on behalf of Tian Ergeng, and hurry up to interrogate Yang Lian and others to see if he could bring out more Donglin Party.

However, in the early hours of this morning, a secret report from Sun Jixiang, the head of the East Factory, made him think crookedly.

He knew that the Apocalypse had hated Xiong Tingbi very much now, and anyone who had anything to do with Xiong Tingbi would have to walk around without eating. And Zhu Youzhen and Xiong Tingbi met by chance in the snowy night, isn't this providence? Zhu Youzhen is a vassal king, if he can be charged with befriending a border minister, then he will be completely finished!

Thinking of this, he immediately summoned Cui Chengxiu, Xu Xianchun and other henchmen, and concocted several pieces of impeachment against Zhu Youzhen. Early in the morning, he excitedly brought "Donglin Point General Record" and these chapters to find the apocalypse, wanting to take advantage of the apocalypse to take down the Donglin Party and Zhu Youzhen together.

Unexpectedly, he just read to Tianqi a few people in "Donglin Point General Record", and Tianqi asked him inexplicably: "Stop, stop, you said that this "Donglin Point General Record" was compiled by comparing the "Water Margin" with one hundred and eight generals, so what kind of book is "Water Margin"?" Why is Li Sancai called 'King of Tota'? Why is Ye Xianggao called 'timely rain'? What does this mean? ”

Wei Zhongxian realized that Tianqi was too unlearned and unskilled, and he hadn't even watched "Water Margin", so he hurriedly cleaned him up again, and his mouth was dry. Especially when it comes to the plots of Chao Gai's outwitting of the Birth Gang and Liangshan Juyi, it is even more colorful, focusing on the intentions of Chao Gai and others to rebel against the imperial court.

After listening to it, Tianqi carefully read "Donglin Point General Record" again, tilted his head and thought for a while, and suddenly clapped his hands and laughed: "What a Tota Heavenly King, brave and strategic!" ”

Wei Zhongxian almost crooked his nose, he tossed in vain yesterday, this idiot didn't take it seriously at all!

In fact, the apocalypse was very clear about Wei Zhongxian's purpose. But when he saw that this "Point General" basically wiped out the Donglin Party, especially the name of his teacher Sun Chengzong, he decided to play Wei Zhongxian.

This is the imperial mind of Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse. In this matter, he is not an idiot, the idiot is Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian couldn't guess what the apocalypse was thinking. Seeing that "Dian Jianglu" did not play a role, he presented the impeachment of Zhu Youzhen to the apocalypse, and said with added vinegar: "If it is really as played by several courtiers, according to the ancestral system, the vassal king befriended the border ministers, it would be an unforgivable crime..."

Apocalypse's face changed color. He read the pieces seriously and word for word, with a blushing face and not saying a word. After a long time, he said slowly: "Zhongxian, you can't write, let Wang Tiqian come in and draft the decree!" ”

Seeing that Zhu Youzhen had been dealt with so easily, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly tried to suppress his extreme excitement and invited Wang Tiqian, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, to come in.

But the next sentence of the apocalypse scared him out of his body: "Just write like this: Feng Zhu Youzhen is the king of letters, and the prince of the food is Lu, Qin this!" ”
