"Lord Wang, you have to support the court this time. You don't know how miserable the court is now, the palace has laid off thousands of palace maids and eunuchs in a row, and every night, the palace is pitch black, and there is not even a lamp. Our ministers have also issued a lot of treasure money, and now the price of rice in the capital is much more expensive than before, and if this continues, our ministers will have to drink the northwest wind. ”

In the palace of King Wu, Li Sancai, the secretary of the household department in Nanjing, pleaded bitterly with Lu Yan.

He knew it wasn't a good job, but the emperor had chosen his name and had no choice but to put the ducks on the shelves.

After being hung out for ten days, Lu Yan took the time to see him.

As soon as he saw Lu Yan, Li San began to complain.

"This king heard that the Holy Admiral Fu Wang has been imprisoned? And a lot of family property was confiscated. ”

Lu Yan said with a frown.

For Zhu Youxiao's immobilization of King Fu, Lu Yan felt a little strange, there was no such thing in his previous life.

For these princes, Zhu Youxiao has always been very tolerant.

"This shouldn't be Your Majesty's idea, it must be that Wei Zhongxian's edict."

Li Sancai said with a look of resentment.

Even though Lü Yan carried out an uprising on the side of the Qing monarch because of Wei Zhongxian, the emperor seemed to trust Wei Zhongxian more after the incident.

A lot of things were entrusted to him to do, but they were alienated from the Donglin Party. This made those Donglin parties feel a crisis.

Lu Yan was silent for a while, and then said: "I heard that King Fu is so rich that he has to keep oil, since you have confiscated so much family property. I guess it's going to take some time. ”

King Fu is definitely a very rich prince, even if someone says that his family property is worth 10 million taels of silver, Lu Yan will believe it.

I don't know how much silver can be sold for the tens of thousands of acres of land that occupy the people.

"This... Many of them were secretly embezzled by Wei Gelding, and in the end only a hundred thousand taels of silver and some land were confiscated, and the imperial history of the court was planning to collectively impeach Wei Gelding and demanded a detailed investigation of this matter. ”

Li Sancai thought about it and said.

This incident is strange from beginning to end, and it has gone crazy in the capital.

Some people say that gold, silver, jewelry, and antique calligraphy and paintings worth 320,000 yuan were copied from King Fu's house.

Only a very small part of it was handed over to the treasury. Most of them were embezzled by Wei Zhongxian.

However, some people say that the emperor also intervened and secretly took a large part of the silver. In short, there is everything to say.

Li San is a real officialdom old fritter, and he feels that this matter is definitely not simple.

"I've heard that the Holy Master has stopped playing carpenter lately, and has started playing with guns, and I've heard that the Holy Master is planning to train a new army. Going to come against me. ”

Lu Yan said with a sneer.

He is very familiar with the movements of the court, not to mention the imperial horse eunuch Tu Wenfu, I don't know how many people in the court secretly communicate with him.

Zhu Youxiao made a major adjustment to the Ordnance Bureau and the Military War Bureau, and within a month, more than a dozen officials and more than 40 stewards were sent to prison.

After torture, they were all raided from their homes, and large sums of gold and silver were taken from their homes.

The Holy Lord was furious and planned to behead all these people, which also aroused the panic of some courtiers.

"This ...... The Holy Lord did intend to train a new army, but he only intended to use it to replenish those armies damaged in battle, and he definitely had no intention of dealing with the prince. ”

Li Sancai quietly wiped a cold sweat and said.

How could Lu Yan know so much about the affairs of the court. He insulted Lu Yan, and he didn't know if he was clear.

"I also heard that the Holy Lord has recently trusted the Donglin Party and plans to let the official department Shangshu * Xing enter the cabinet."

Lu Yan said with a sneer.

Hearing this, Li Sancai's face became even more ugly.

If it's usual. Of course, it is a good thing to enter the cabinet, and maybe * Xing will not be able to ask for it.

However, the Ministry of Officials is not an ordinary department, but controls the assessment, appointment and dismissal of all officials in the world.

And this year is a very special year, he is called Jingcha Year.

What is Kyocha?

The Jingcha is to evaluate all the officials in the world, and it is held once every six years.

From the region, it is divided into North and South. In principle, the Northern Investigation is presided over by the Ministry of Officials, and the Southern Inspection is presided over by the Officials and the Servants.

Of course. The most important of these is Beicha.

The main task of Jingcha is to assess whether those officials have done a good job during their term of office, and whether they have done a good job will be promoted, and those who have done a bad job will be dismissed.

Whether those officials are promoted or rolled up depends on this year.

Due to the particularity of Jingcha and the increasingly fierce party struggle at the end of the Ming Dynasty, every time they come to Jingcha, all parties fight to the death, and it is the time when the contradictions of various factions break out in a concentrated manner.

Due to its style of rejecting dissidents, the Donglin Party had deep grievances with the Zhejiang Party, the Chu Party, the Qi Party, and the Xuan Party.

In the thirty-third year of Wanli, Yang Shiqiao, a member of the Donglin Party, presided over Jingcha, and the first assistant of the cabinet at that time was Shen Zhengyi, the leader of the Zhejiang Party.

Although Shen had always tried his best to preserve his own people, the cadres and cronies of the three parties were almost expelled by the Donglin Party, and since then the Donglin Party and the various parties have formed a mortal enemy.

In the 39th year of Wanli, Jingcha was still presided over by the Donglin Party, and they continued to wantonly ostracize dissidents, which made the officials of other parties at that time hate it.

The domineering behavior of the Donglin Party finally aroused public anger, and the Zhejiang, Qi, Chu and other parties finally decided to unite and start a decisive battle with the Donglin Party.

In the forty-fifth year of Wanli, it was the year of Jingcha, and this time the Jingcha was presided over by Zheng Jizhi, a person from the Chu Party and a secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Li Zhilai, a person from the Zhejiang Party and a secretary of the Criminal Department.

This time, the parties united and swept almost all the members of the Donglin Party out of the imperial court.

Therefore, every Jingcha year is the time for the reshuffle of the imperial court's forces.

And this year is the year of Jingcha, when it was swept out of the court by the three parties, such a big feud, with the consistent style of the Donglin Party, how could it not be reported.

Originally, this year's Donglin Party had the upper hand, because this year's Jingcha was presided over by the Donglin Party's grandmother and the official department Shangshu * Xing.

But the emperor wants to let * Xing enter the cabinet at this juncture, what does this mean so that those courtiers who have already become fine know it.

So a very strange scene happened in the court, that is, the Donglin Party resolutely opposed the entry of *Xing into the cabinet.

However, the opponents of the Donglin Party strongly support the *Xing Cabinet, as long as the position of the *Xing General is vacated, and then replaced by a person from the three parties, then it will be easy to sweep the Donglin Party out of the court.

Looking at Li Sancai, who had an ugly face, Lu Yan didn't have any smile on his face, and the movements of the imperial court during this period also made him feel a little uneasy.

When did Zhu Youxiao become so bold.

"Master Li, have you ever thought about leaving a way back for yourself?"

Lu Yan thought for a while and said.

"The way back? Lord, where did you start with this? ”

Li Sancai couldn't help but be stunned.

"Now the saint can't get rid of your Donglin Party quickly, so mediocre and incompetent, the Ming Dynasty will die at his hands, how about throwing it under my door."

Lu Yan smiled and extended an olive branch to Li Sancai.

Listening to his words, Li San was a little moved.

Recently, the emperor's estrangement from the Donglin Party can be seen as long as he is a person.

And Lu Yan's strength is very strong, that is well known, but let him take refuge in Lu Yan, he feels that the risk is too great, and the benefits are a little disproportionate.

If Lu Yan is ruthless and has been leveling the Ming Dynasty, he feels that he still has hope of success.

But he attaches so much importance to love and righteousness, how can he dare to put his net worth and life on him.

Just when he was about to shake his head and refuse, Zhang Xiaoyi rushed in with excitement.

"Lord Wang, great joy! Luzon is pacified! The red razors were all wiped out, and those natives also bowed down. ”

Hearing this, Lu Yan couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Although he believed that pacifying Luzon would be an easy thing to do, he was still a little incredulous when it did happen.

"It's really calmed down...... Show it to me. ”

Lu Yan said with a laugh.

Zhang Xiaoyi hurriedly handed over Chen Qingzhi's battle report to Lu Yan, and said with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince, this can destroy the country, it is enough to go down in history." ”

Li Sancai was also extremely shocked.

The work of destroying the country!

How long has it been since the Ming Dynasty has destroyed the country!

Recently, Daming seems to have been losing consecutive battles, and he has never won any battles at all.

"Hahaha! Hahahaha! ”

After reading the battle report, Lu Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Get the news out quickly, and the king will celebrate with the people. In addition, quickly prepare a chapter for me, I want to play the emperor, and I want to set up a Luzon Road in Luzon. ”

"Okay, lord."

Zhang Xiaoyi hurriedly said happily.

Luzon Road?

Is Lu Yan going to expand his territory?

Li Sancai looked at Lu Yan with a shocked expression.
