Qin Sande saw that there was no one outside the house, and covered the door again.

When he returned to his seat again, Qin Sande's expression was already very serious.

"Master Su, what our family said, you know and I know, don't say it casually, our family is worried, in fact, there is no need to say this, there are some things, after a while, Lord Su will also know."

Su Tiancheng nodded slightly and did not speak.

He rarely saw Qin Sande's serious appearance, Qin Sande grew up in the palace when he was a child, and he had already cultivated a standard face, and when he saw anyone, whether it was someone close to him or someone he hated, he had a smile on his face, and he was able to make a serious expression, indicating that he trusted him Su Tiancheng, but he also said that the things that were about to be said were not small things.

"Everything that Lord Su did in Jiangning County, our family sincerely admires, but Lord Su asked the gentry and rich families to sell grain and other things, which caused a lot of fluctuations in the capital."

"The situation of the Jiangning camp, our family is a little confused, obviously it has won so many battles, Zijin Liang, Lao Huihui, not mud, who is not a famous thief, they were all exterminated by the Jiangning camp, who can do this, but in the court, there are people who are not satisfied, thinking that the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion have too high military salaries, even if the imperial court has not taken out the silver, there should not be such a high military salary. We should not ask for special care just because we have made meritorious contributions. ”

"What our family doesn't understand even more is the treatment of Zhang Pu, to say that the first assistant of the cabinet, Lord Wen, thinks that what Zhang Pu did is heinous. It's enough to cut off the head, but there are still a lot of adults who have jointly signed a letter, saying that Zhang Pu is considering his family and country, although the approach is a bit excessive, but the mood is good. It is okay to order that this cannot be done in the future. ”

"Some adults are too much, in the imperial court, it is said that the measures of the Jiangning camp are ill-intentioned, and if it goes on like this, it will inevitably endanger the country of my Ming Dynasty, and some adults have said that Lord Su will not be able to continue in Jiangning County. Ask for sin, punish you. ”

"Our family is really angry, what Lord Su did in Jiangning County, which adult dared to pat his chest and say that he could do it, seeing that Lord Su did it, he was jealous, our family understood Lord Su's thoughts. Those who like empty talk just can't be officials in the court. ”……

Qin Sande was still indignant. Su Tiancheng had already thought of the reason.

These ministers who popped up were by no means specifically aimed at the Jiangning camp, and these people who popped up must be supported by the rich gentry in the south, and the thoughts of these people. It is the same as the Donglin Party and the Restoration Society, and to put it mildly, these people are likely to be the Donglin Party.

Since the Apocalypse, there has been a party struggle within the imperial court. It is in full swing, interspersed with the struggle between the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party, the struggle between the Donglin Party and the Zhejiang Party, and so on.

In the first year of Chongzhen, Zhu Youzhen was only a seventeen-year-old young man, and he had not yet fully understood the fierceness of the party struggle, and at the instigation of the Donglin Party, he completely denied all the policies of Wei Zhongxian. The struggle between the Donglin Party and the Zhejiang Party is still continuing, but the Donglin Party occupies a great advantage, and the Zhejiang Party is losing and retreating, and basically loses the right to speak.

The description of the history of the Ming Dynasty is eulogized to the Donglin Party, and even believes that the Donglin Party is the mainstay of the country, and Zhu Youzhen was not able to use this force as soon as possible, so it led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

But Su Tiancheng's view is different.

It has been almost four years, and the little feelings have made him realize that the Donglin Party has long changed, not the concept that the founder Gu Xiancheng put forward at the beginning, to put it mildly, the Donglin Party has become a backbone that hinders the development of the Ming Dynasty.

Wei Zhongxian is indeed heinous, but Wei Zhongxian is a peasant, he knows the suffering of the peasants, and during the period of controlling the government, he will never increase the burden on the peasants, and he will not increase the burden on the peasants.

As for the struggle between the Donglin Party and the Zhejiang Party, we can see from looking at the camps of the two sides: The Donglin Party represents the interests of the big landlords and big bureaucrats, and the Zhejiang Party represents the interests of poor scholars from civilian backgrounds.

Looking at the measures of the Restoration Society, you can know that when the Restoration Society was established, it was just to let scholars have a place to participate in the discussion of national policies, but in just a few years, the tentacles of the Restoration Society began to extend to the imperial court, influencing many decisions, and trying every means to crack down on and reject those who did not agree with their political views.

Now, the target of the fight against exclusion has become Su Tiancheng.

The reason for this is also very simple, the policy of Jiangning County, the establishment of the Zhongxing Society, and the views advocated by the Zhongxing Society have made the Donglin Party and the Fushe feel the danger, and have made the big bureaucrats and big landowners behind them restless, and they are about to start taking action, and they will use their own strength to force the emperor to express their position.

In the imperial court, to be precise, in the cabinet, the Donglin Party has not yet taken the advantage, the former cabinet chief assistant Zhou Yanru, and the idler's Wen Tiren are not Donglin Party members, but Zhou Yanru is milder to the Donglin Party.

However, in the imperial court, the power of the Donglin Party is very great, and the cabinet has to consider that sometimes, the Donglin Party uses its huge power to exert influence on the government, and I am afraid that the cabinet will not be able to openly block it.

The method that Su Tiancheng thought of was the best way to establish the Zhongxing Society and shake the Donglin Party and the Restoration Society from the root.

Such a move, if not provoked a frantic attack, would be a strange thing.

Qin Sande finally finished speaking, of course, there are some things that he can't say directly, for example, the attitude of Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, is also a little ambiguous, and in the end, he also acquiesced in dealing with Zhang Pu's problem.

As for the emperor, he may understand many things, but it is impossible to go against the opinion of the majority.

Seeing that Su Tiancheng's face had no expression, Qin Sande secretly admired, worthy of being a person who does big things, that is, he can be calm and leisurely and not be knocked down by some unfavorable news.

Qin Sande didn't bother Su Tiancheng for the time being, picked up the teacup from the table, took a sip, and felt that the tea was a little cold, he habitually opened his mouth, and when he was about to call someone to change the hot tea, he suddenly thought that he and Su Tiancheng were talking secretly, and quickly shut up.

Su Tiancheng noticed Qin Sande's action.

"Father-in-law, the tea is a little cold, call someone to change it."

"Okay, I've just said so much, and I'm a little thirsty."

When the eunuch came in to change the hot tea, a smile appeared on Su Tiancheng's face.

He had already thought about it, what Qin Sande said today was by no means simple, whether it was the meaning of exhortation or support, it was impossible to say for a while, judging from Qin Sande's performance, it was most likely the meaning of exhortation.

As a eunuch guarding Nanjing, Qin Sande could not speak casually, let alone talk about disputes within the court in private, and the reason why he said this in front of him was that someone authorized him.

Zhang Pu's matter, the emperor can make a decision directly, no matter what, shaking the foundation of the Ming Dynasty is a heinous crime, but Zhu Youzhen did not do this, which shows that in Zhu Youzhen's heart, he is also hesitant and hesitant.

The struggle within the imperial family, the struggle between the imperial power and the relative power, and the struggle between the emperor and the cabinet have existed for thousands of years, and it is impossible for Zhu Youzhen not to understand this, the ministers below are too powerful, and the merits are high, which the emperor does not want to see, but the ministers below are too weak, and watching the country decline day by day, this is even more of a crisis to his own rule.

Since ancient times, there have not been many enlightened monarchs.

Therefore, Su Tiancheng needs to think seriously, this is by no means a trivial matter, if his own actions have aroused Zhu Youzhen's suspicions, or Zhu Youzhen uses those so-called imperial mental techniques to support the two opposites, so that he can control the government by himself, then, no matter how hard he tries, the Ming Dynasty still has no hope, and it will go into the abyss of destruction.

Zhang Pu could not become his opponent, and Su Tiancheng would not allow such an opponent to exist.

After being in contact with Zhu Youzhen several times, Su Tiancheng deeply felt that Zhu Youzhen was by no means the king of the Emperor, he desperately hoped that the Ming Dynasty would prosper, and what he inherited was originally a mess, full of holes, and as time went by, there were more and more problems, which gradually wore out his patience and made him a little impatient.

There is no perfect person in the world, in terms of personal quality, Zhu Youzhen is indeed very good, not extravagant and wasteful, no bad habits, not chasing women, Zhu Youzhen is only twenty-three years old, this is also the age, after a few hundred years, it is difficult to do the above points.

From the basic qualities of a person, it can be seen whether the person's future development is hopeless.

Su Tiancheng believes that Zhu Youzhen is still good, regardless of whether his ability is lacking or not.

It is impossible for him to completely change Zhu Youzhen, unless he crossed over and became Zhu Youzhen's brother or brother, for the sake of today, it is to adapt, mutual adaptation.

Between the calcium carbide firelight, after thinking about these clearly, Su Tiancheng also knew how to answer.

"The words spoken by the father-in-law are really enlightening, the lower officials are grateful, the lower officials have been in Jiangning County, almost two years, and there is a belief in my heart all the time, no matter what things are done, no matter whether they have made meritorious contributions or not, in short, we must be loyal to the emperor, we must take into account the family and the country, the emperor has great trust in the ministers, if you can't handle government affairs well, the lower officials will have no face, as for the discussions of those adults in the court, the lower officials will not consider it."
